Chase Edmonds Is A Flex Option In Week 7
Chase Edmonds had a disappointing showing in Week 6, catching just one pass for six yards and adding five rushes for 23 yards. This week, he could be in line for more usage as the Cardinals face a Seattle Seahawks Defense that ranks dead-last in the league in pass defense, allowing 370.4 passing yards per game. In a game that should be high-scoring and up-tempo, Edmonds should have a good amount of opportunities to make some plays. Kenyan Drake, who earned 20 carries last week, will be the team's primary ball-carrier, but Drake has yet to make much of an impact in the passing game. Edmonds is a bit risky, but he's a viable option as a flex this week, especially in PPR leagues.

Chase Edmonds Expected To Start Season On Injured Reserve
Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) is expected to begin the season on the injured reserve list. No surprise here, considering the veteran back has been battling an unspecified ailment throughout training camp. Of course, the No. 1 spot on the depth chart is held by Rachaad White, who narrowly missed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2023-24. As a result, Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker will be looking for scraps, although neither player should be viewed as anything more than an insurance policy.

Chase Edmonds Not Practicing Amid Injury
Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) remains sidelined and is nearing two weeks out. After a lackluster performance last year and an offseason marked by injuries, Edmonds' spot on the team is uncertain. He has been struggling with this injury since the early days of training camp and was expected to compete with rookie Bucky Irving and others for backup roles behind starting running back Rachaad White. Edmonds' productivity plummeted last season, as he managed only 176 rushing yards on 49 carries, putting him firmly on the roster bubble. On the plus side, Edmonds and White were the only running backs to see offensive snaps for Tampa Bay over the last ten weeks of the season, including the playoffs. While the backup role for any Tampa Bay running back may not be valuable in fantasy, Rachaad White managers must monitor the situation.

Buccaneers Re-Sign Chase Edmonds
Chase Edmonds to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Edmonds will return to Tampa in 2024 as a backfield complement to Rachaad White, who should continue to command most of the running back touches for the Bucs in 2024. The 27-year-old Edmonds played in only 13 games in his first year with Tampa in 2023 and had just 49 carries for 176 yards and no touchdowns, adding 14 receptions for an additional 81 yards through the air. Unless White suffers an injury, Edmonds will be little more than a deep-league handcuff in fantasy. The Buccaneers also have Sean Tucker in the RB room and could add to the position in the upcoming NFL draft.
