Arizona Cardinals Fantasy Football Projections
Not only do we have fantasy football projections by positions, we have team-by-team fantasy projections as well.
Here are our projections for the Arizona Cardinals running backs for the 2020 NFL season:
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kenyan Drake | 205.9 | 947.1 | 7.72 | 48.9 | 366.8 | 2.45 | 192.41 | |
| Drake's midseason trade to Arizona erased fantasy owner's frustrations over his usage as most felt that he was under-utilized during his time in Miami. With virtually no time to prepare, Drake rattled off 162 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in his Arizona debut and was one of the most productive backs in the second half of the season. From Week 9 (his debut with the Cardinals) to Week 17, Drake was fantasy's RB4 behind CMC, Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott. | ||||||||
| Chase Edmonds | 70 | 308 | 2.45 | 23.6 | 174.6 | 0.71 | 67.22 | |
| Edmonds played 60 snaps (94%) against the Giants in Week 8 and exploded for 150 YFS and three touchdowns on 29 touches. Missing all of November and playing only 15 offensive snaps in December, the third-year back out of Fordham enters 2020 as Kenyan Drake's primary handcuff. | ||||||||
| Eno Benjamin | 30.9 | 132.9 | 0.62 | 5 | 36 | 0.15 | 21.51 | |
