David Johnson Unlikely For Week 9
5 years agoArizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday night. Running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is also out, which means Kenyan Drake and Alfred Morris will share the work against the San Francisco 49ers. The team said Drake's workload will be restricted because he's so new to the team. Look for Morris to handle a lot of the carries on first and second downs, and Drake will mix in on third down and passing situations. The 49ers Defense is no joke, though. Both players are really weak flex options, but Drake has a slight edge in point-per-reception formats.
