Johnson is inactive today
Odd that only 2 backs are active and it's Zenner over Morris.Cardinals declared WR KeeSean Johnson, RB David Johnson (ankle), RB Alfred Morris, RB D.J. Foster (hamstring), OL Lamont Gaillard, DL Michael Dogbe and DL Zach Allen (shoulder) inactive for Week 8 against the Saints.
Johnson is also expected to miss the Cardinals' Thursday night matchup against the 49ers. Chase Edmonds and recently-signed RB Zach Zenner will be the offense's only two active RBs with Morris and Foster also sidelined.
They did the same thing last week, correct?Odd that only 2 backs are active and it's Zenner over Morris.
Zenner is the one that will play special teams too. Morris never has and certainly wouldn’t start now.Odd that only 2 backs are active and it's Zenner over Morris.
The Saints D has been very good all year. They have given up garbage time yards and TDs in 3 games, but probably not this game.Cards O has done nothing. Don’t think they have had the ball more than 5 min
I did the same, sorry everyone.Sorry everyone. I decided to switch him in last minute for Melvin Gordon. This has been the absolute worse season I’ve had in 20+ years playing as far as my decisions and the outcomes as far as I can remember.
Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday.
Edmonds suffered the injury in the third quarter and was spotted badly limping on the sidelined. Zach Zenner is the only active RB remaining with David Johnson (ankle) and D.J. Foster (hamstring) inactive. Edmonds was held in check before departing, posting 7-8-0 rushing and 2-5-0 receiving lines.

Agreed. But might have a tough time getting ready for Thursday.Glad it’s a hammy and not a season ending knee injury
Sure but also this week and next were his big showcase spots (though the match-ups are awful).Glad it’s a hammy and not a season ending knee injury
So are a million other fantasy owners like us who started Edmunds.I'm cursed
This worked out well... this week anyway.I moved Chase to the DJ owner two days ago. I made an even swap for Tevin Coleman, being the Breida owner. I sold him on both of us locking down their respective RB situations.
I hope you started Tevin the week! Huge move.I moved Chase to the DJ owner two days ago. I made an even swap for Tevin Coleman, being the Breida owner. I sold him on both of us locking down their respective RB situations.
Absolutely. I acquired him to become my RB2 after I traded Fournette a couple of weeks ago for Hopkins (had Breida as my RB2 for a couple of weeks). I was actually out today with some peeps from my league, and the guy I traded with joined us... I covered his tab today.I hope you started Tevin the week! Huge move.
They play the 49ers. He's be just as well off sitting it out. They are gonna get destroyed.He said he is "hopeful" to play Thursday. Not holding my breath.
That never existed. He could have absolutely earned a significant role(40%), and likely still has earned a decent workload(30%), but a healthy Johnson owns this backfield until he's no longer on the roster.Wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if he sat against the 49ers, but the bigger issue is that he may have missed a chance to stake a majority claim in the backfield.
I saw something earlier that DJ was expected to sit Thursday no matter what for an extra week off before reevaluating things, but that those plans might be revisited and he could possibly be thrown into action Thursday. Who knows how legit that is and if even possible with his injuries and I do not remember where I saw it, sorry. If I come across it I will post it.So is Zenner the lead dog Thursday night?
Perhaps not, but it’s all speculation either way. For all we know, Edmonds may be evolving as the primary ball carrier with DJ primarily being split out side.That never existed.

I think that particular speculation is silly. I've seen it from a few different places, and it just doesn't make sense. Johnson is as good as any RB in the NFL at receiving, but he's not a WR, and now especially with Christian Kirk back, that would be a waste of resources.Perhaps not, but it’s all speculation either way. For all we know, Edmonds may be evolving as the primary ball carrier with DJ primarily being split out side.
frank gore?They play San Fran. Surely we all have better starts than any of the AZ backfield?
I was hesitant to do it against NO but felt he was my best option out of Breida and Lindsay (not a lot of difference there and I got steamrolled by Goff, Kupp, Edelman, Cook, and Mack yesterday anyway).They play San Fran. Surely we all have better starts than any of the AZ backfield?
Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said there's "definitely concern" that Chase Edmonds (hamstring) won't play in Week 9 against the 49ers.
The Cardinals play on Thursday night, giving Edmonds just four days to get cleared. That puts him on the wrong side of questionable after not returning from his hamstring injury in Sunday's loss. With David Johnson (ankle) also sidelined, the Cardinals may have to turn to a committee of Alfred Morris and Zach Zenner.
