Cardinals to work out RBs

Oct 21, 2019

The Arizona Cardinals are bringing in a couple of veteran running backs for workouts, according to multiple reports.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that Arizona was going to work out Jay Ajayi and Spencer Ware.

Related players: David Johnson, Chase Edmonds, D.J. Foster

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson owners have likely learned their lesson after last week when Johnson got one carry before turning things over to Edmonds. It's a situation to monitor as Foster is also banged up, so if the team signs another back, it may not necessarily mean Johnson won't return to his normal workload in Week 8.

Ty Johnson clears concussion protocol, will play against Cowboys

Lions RB Ty Johnson cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Good for the Lions who could use a boost on offense with Matthew Stafford missing another game and the Lions facing a good Cowboys defense. Johnson does still have some flex appeal but expectations should still be somewhat tempered with Jeff Driskel in again at quarterback.

Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery will not play Sunday against the Patriots with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

With DeSean Jackson on IR, the Eagles’ top three receivers against New England are Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. Not exactly an ideal situation against one of the top pass defenses in the league and a team that will likely be very angry coming off the Week 9 loss to the Ravens. The Eagles are also very banged up at the running back position, with both Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders injures, which led to the Eagles bringing back Jay Ajayi.

David Montgomery a game-time decision for Sunday

Bears RB David Montgomery is a game-time decision with an ankle injury suffered during practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

You’ll want to make sure you have a backup plan with the Bears playing on Sunday night against the Rams. And the question becomes how effective will Montgomery be if he is able to go this week. At the very least, you can put Montgomery in as your flex if you have options there that are playing on Monday night in case he is declared inactive.
