Chase Edmonds, the fourth-year pro out of Fordham, who will get every opportunity to prove he can be Arizona’s bell cow and primary running back.

The story said Conner will get his share of carries as well, but it looks like the team will at least give Edmonds a chance to be the primary back. The story added there has been speculation from outside critics that he won’t be able to last a full season as a No.1 running back because of his smallish, 5-foot-9 stature. Edmonds added a few pounds of muscle this offseason, bulking up his legs and upper body. Even in a split, it should be Edmonds getting the passing down work giving him the edge in fantasy leagues.

Rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall has been the sparkling surprise among the offensive rookies in camp, drawing comparisons in stature to former Carolina receiver Mushin Muhammad and Hall-Of-Famer Michael Irvin.

Marshall has turned in some impressive catches through the first week. Marshall has been competing for the slot position alongside veteran David Moore, but HC Matt Rhule said Monday his top two receivers are still unquestionably D.J. Moore and Anderson.

Veteran TE Ricky Seals-Jones signed with the WFT, per source. Washington’s TE room now includes Logan Thomas, Temarrick Hemmingway, John Bates, Deon Yelder, Tyrone Swoopes, Sammis Reyes and Seals-Jones.

Ricky Seals-Jones joins an already crowded tight end room behind Logan Thomas. He's not fantasy-relevant even if he makes the squad.

From NFL Now: It's looking more likely that #Raiders starting QB Derek Carr is back for 2021, while backup QB Marcus Mariota is not. He's been the subject of trade calls.

Derek Carr is currently 4for4's QB17 in John Paulsen's 'never too early rankings'. Six-year veteran Marcus Mariota has garnered some interest from various teams across the league and could find himself a third NFL home in the coming weeks.

Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds is questionable for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

Edmonds did not practice all week, which is not a good sign. Kenyan Drake would be asked to carry the load without his running mate available.

49ers WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel will not play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Safe to avoid any 49ers Week 17.

WFT WR Terry McLaurin and RB Antonio Gibson are questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to NIcki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.

The Eagles are expected to be missing key players on defense, so a return for McLaurin and another dozen reps for Gibson this week could be what secures a playoff berth for WFT.
