BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~164 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted)
ANALYSIS: There are still Kenyan Drake truthers out there, apparently. Drake's ADP in 12-team redraft leagues is currently 16th overall (middle of the second round) and RB10. Back in the summer of 2018 draft-season, we witnessed something similar with Drake and expectations around him entering 2019 as he finished the previous season with an explosive Week 13-17 that was fresh in fantasy owners' minds. Last year, it was Week 15-17 when he suddenly decided to show out. Drake has the ability to be explosive, but he just doesn't do it consistently. Even if Drake does serve as a true RB1, another back will rotate with him and that player is sure to catch a good share of passes.
Eno Benjamin was taken in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, but he will likely start the season behind Edmonds on the depth chart, making him a non-competitor for Edmonds at least for the 2020 season if the latter doesn't entirely flop on his third yeard playing in Arizona. Some folks think the freshman will end beating Edmonds and jumping him in the pecking order, but that looks more like novelty bias than anything else to me.
Edmonds doesn't have blazing speed or impressive build, but he posted some promising efficiency numbers last year. He ranked sixth with 4.8 True Yards Per Carry and 10th with a +25.9 Production Premium. As a capable receiver in the Air Raid offense, it's easy to see why he's worth a spot on your bench at the very least.
