The writing was on the wall for RB Kenyan Drake’s tenure with the Miami Dolphins when the team started giving other backs work over him the last few weeks and didn’t have him travel with the team for their Week 8 game. Monday, the inevitable happened, as Drake was reportedly shipped to the Arizona Cardinals ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
For fantasy football, the move is interesting, but perhaps more for what it says for other players than it does for Drake.
This time two weeks ago, the Cardinals had maybe the most envied backfield situation in the league, with David Johnson sitting as the PPR RB6 and Chase Edmonds maybe the league’s top handcuff.
