Kenyan Drake Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

BAL RB Kenyan Drake is inactive today.

Kenyan Drake and DeAndre Hopkins are both active today, as expected. Andy Isabella is a healthy scratch, a surprising inactive for the WR. Not keeping Isabella active could indicate they're confident in the return of Larry Fitzgerald, and don't feel the need for additional depth.

Ezekiel Elliott, Tee Higgins, Kenyan Drake and DeAndre Hopkins are all expected to play today. Elliott should be able to handle near his normal workload if active, which would severely limit Tony Pollard. Tee Higgins could carry some injury related risk, since he is working through a hamstring injury. Kenyan Drake and DeAndre Hopkins appear good to handle their normal workload.

Both Kenyan Drake and Maxx Williams are active Sunday, and the Cardinals offense is finally healthy, giving Kyler Murray all his weapons to work with against Buffalo. Drake being healthy will mean less work available for Chase Edmonds, but both should still be involved today.

Per Schefter, we should see Drake active on Sunday, which eats into the appeal of Chase Edmonds. It's still possible that Drake is limited or takes a back seat to Edmonds even if he is able to go, but Drake could certainly slot right back into his role on early downs assuming he's not hampered. The Dolphins are expected to be without Matt Breida and Myles Gaskin once again, leaving the Dolphins shorthanded on playmakers with Preston Williams also hitting IR this week. We'll confirm the status' of both Drake and Breida closer to kickoff.

Drake underwent an MRI on Monday morning that revealed a slight tear to a ligament in his ankle, and according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, is expected to miss at least a few weeks. The Cardinals have a bye week in Week 8, but given that prognosis, he'll seemingly miss at least two or three games heading out of the bye, if not more since the Cardinals are treating this injury as a severe high ankle sprain. In Drake's absence, Chase Edmonds should undoubtedly lead this Arizona backfield in carries and routes run for the duration he's sidelined, putting him in a prime position to produce fantasy points at an elite level over the course of the next few games.
