2 Cardinals (and no Kenyan Drake) among PFF’s top 50 free agents

Larry Fitzgerald and D.J. Humphries make the cut. Kenyan Drake did not.

Free agency is still about two months away but NFL teams are preparing, making their own lists of players and ranking them by priority. The Arizona Cardinals have their own free agents to perhaps re-sign as well.

According to Pro Football Focus, two of their pending free agents are among the top 50 in the league. However, one big name does not appear on the list.

Who makes the list?

It includes receiver Larry Fitzgerald and tackle D.J. Humphries. It does not include running back Kenyan Drake.

Fitzgerald comes in at No. 48.

The NFL needs Larry Fitzgerald in it, and the Hall of Famer is somehow still playing at a pretty high level, even if he isn’t quite the force he once was. This season, Fitzgerald caught 72.1% of the passes thrown his way and didn’t drop a single pass all year. Fitzgerald has had the best hands in the game since he came into the league, and despite slowing down, he was still able to register a catch of 54 yards this season along with four touchdowns. His days as a true No. 1 receiver are long gone, but in a league that needs deep benches of receiving talent, Larry Fitzgerald can still be a valuable member of a receiving corps and a solid contributor on Sundays.

Humphries comes in at No. 45.

Humphries battled injuries early in his career, only flashing the ability that made him a 2015 first-rounder, but he is coming off his best effort as a pass blocker. He gave up only 30 pressures on 677 attempts in 2019, just two more pressures than he allowed in 2018 on 335 fewer opportunities. It was Humphries’ first season grading below 72.0 in the run game, but he could be the classic “late bloomer” along the offensive line as he heads into his age-26 season.

Fitzgerald won’t actually make it to free agency. He will either re-sign with the Cardinals before it begins or he will announce his retirement. He will not play for another team.

Humphries, though, is another story. He would like to re-sign, but if he doesn’t have a new deal before free agency begins and the Cardinals do not use the franchise tag on him, he will land a big contract elsewhere.

The absence of Drake, who was dynamic down the stretch for the Cardinals after he was acquired in a midseason trade. In eight games, he ended up leading the team in rushing and rushing touchdowns. Both general manager Steve Keim and head coach Kliff Kingsbury believe he could be their top back and express their desire for his return.

The 4 biggest player decisions the Cardinals have this offseason

From David Johnson to Patrick Peterson, these decisions will shape the direction of the franchise for the seasons to come.

The Arizona Cardinals have a big offseason this year. However, with many decisions to make in the months to come, a few are bigger than others.

Here are the biggest player decisions the Cardinals must make in 2020.

CB Patrick Peterson

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

If we are to believe what has been said by Peterson, Michael Bidwill and Steve Keim, he isn’t going anywhere. He will at least remain with the team through 2020, the final year of his contract. However, if they don’t plan on bringing him back, a trade would make sense, and he did request a trade two seasons ago.

Whether the decision is to move on, give him a contract extension or simply let him play out the season, it will set the direction of the franchise moving forward.

The Cardinals’ 6 biggest surprises of 2019

The Cardinals had several players perform at a much higher level and have a much bigger role than probably anyone expected.

The Arizona Cardinals didn’t have a surprisingly good year in 2019. They improved to 5-10-1 and more or less finished the season where people believed they should be.

However, they did get some surprise contributions and performances from players fans didn’t expect.

Who were the biggest surprises of 2019?

OL Justin Murray

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

Murray wasn’t even on the team in the offseason. He was a waiver claim after final cuts and appeared to simply be a guy they wanted for depth. After all, what could be expected from a player who had played two career games and had been cut by five different teams in a little more than three years?

He became the starter and wasn’t bad. He missed two games because of a knee injury but played 14 games and started 12.

Rams’ 3 biggest concerns vs. Cardinals in Week 17

Chandler Jones poses a major threat to the Rams on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Rams will run out of the tunnel at the Coliseum one last time on Sunday for the season finale against the Cardinals. It’s a game that doesn’t carry any playoff implications with both teams already being eliminated from contention, but it should still be an entertaining matchup.

Here are the three biggest concerns for the Rams in this game, beginning with a dynamic pass rusher on the other side.

Chandler Jones’ hot streak

Jones is on fire right now. He has 10.5 sacks in his last seven games, including a four-sack performance on Sunday against the Seahawks – his second four-sack game of the season. A third game with four sacks would put him over Michael Strahan’s single-season record of 22.5, and the Rams will do what they can to prevent that from happening.

Jones will match up with Andrew Whitworth more often than not, which is good news for the Rams. Whitworth hasn’t been perfect, but he limited Jones to just 0.5 sacks in Week 13. Jones is a game-wrecker the way Aaron Donald is, so of course there are concerns about stopping him.

Offseason priorities for the Cardinals

Arizona has a lot of optimism going into the 2020 offseason – that doesn’t mean they don’t have holes to fill however.

Three weeks ago, things did not look good for the Cardinals heading into the offseason: everyone and everything needed to be replaced is what the fans were feeling. Outside of Kyler Murray, Kliff Kingsbury, and Chandler Jones, nothing was set in stone.

What a difference a couple of games make!

However, despite the recent optimism that comes from winning two games, there are still quite a few holes to fill on this roster in the offseason. Here are a few that stick out:

Re-sign Kenyan Drake

At this point, it would be a huge disappointment if they don’t re-sign Drake. Whether he can re-create his success remains to be seen, but he has earned his next contract after rushing for 583 yards in just 7 games (this translates to over 1300 yards rushing in a full 16 game season for those wondering).

Kenyan Drake up for FedEx Ground Player of the Week for 2nd straight week

He rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks.

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake was named FedEx Ground Player of the Week last week after rushing for 137 yards and four touchdowns.

He topped that performance in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks, rushing for 166 yards and two touchdowns, including an 80-yard touchdown run, in the Cardinals’ 27-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

As a result, he has been nominated for the second week in a row for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week.

Each Tuesday morning of the regular season, through Thursday at 3 p.m. ET, fans can visit NFL.com/FedEx or the NFL Twitter page to vote for their favorite performances of the week, with FedEx awarding a $2,000 donation in the winning players’ names to The USO.

The other nominees for this week are New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, who had 22 carries for 189 yards and a touchdown in a 41-35 win over the Washington Redskins, and also Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones who rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.

Fantasy market report: Week 17

For most of us, the 2019 fantasy football season is over. I’m in a league where Week 17 is an all-in free-for-all for a hundie-and-change for transaction fees that makes Week 17 worthwhile.

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

For most of us, the 2019 fantasy football season is over. I’m in a league where Week 17 is an all-in free-for-all for a hundie-and-change for transaction fees that makes Week 17 worthwhile.

But, for most, the season is over and other things occupy your time moving forward. That process shouldn’t stop just because your current season is over. If anything, you should not the players that impressed you, those you think are a full off-season away from being a breakout star and those players your commitment is cooling on. As such, the countdown to 2020, where all vision is perfect, should take place now.

Here is the view from The Shop on how we start stacking our 2020 board.

QUARTERBACK – 1. Patrick Mahomes; 2. Lamar Jackson; 3. Deshaun Watson; 4. Aaron Rodgers; 5. Matt Ryan; 6. Russell Wilson; 7. Drew Brees; 8. Jameis Winston; 9. Dak Prescott; 10. Jared Goff. Sleeper: Josh Allen, Buffalo. On the Slide – Matthew Stafford, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady.

Given his running style, Jackson remains an injury risk, which keeps Mahomes, whose running style lends more to making good business decisions, at No. 1 in my rankings. Jameis may be a surprise here because his style is so reckless, he may not even be a starter next year, but if he stays in Tampa with the same talent around him, the huge days will continue. Goff has too many weapons not to succeed at a certain level.

RUNNING BACK – 1. Christian McCaffrey; 2. Saquon Barkley; 3. Josh Jacobs; 4. Ezekiel Elliott; 5. Aaron Jones; 6. Dalvin Cook; 7. Chris Carson; 8. Alvin Kamara; 9. Todd Gurley; 10. Leonard Fournette; 11. Derrick Henry; 12. Nick Chubb; 13. Kerryon Johnson; 14. Devin Singletary; 15. Mark Ingram. Sleeper: Miles Sanders. On the Slide: Le’Veon Bell, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman.

McCaffrey has earned the top spot. This may be a little aggressive for Jacobs, but he has proved he can be a workhorse for Jon Gruden. Jones and Cook could be divisional competitors for years. Kamara’s drop is significant…and justified. Johnson and Singletary make the biggest jump forward as value pick potential.

WIDE RECEIVER – 1. Michael Thomas; 2. DeAndre Hopkins; 3. Julio Jones; 4. Mike Evans; 5. Tyreek Hill; 6. Kenny Golladay; 7. Chris Godwin; 8. Odell Beckham; 9. Adam Thielen; 10. Keenan Allen; 11. Allen Robinson; 12. D.J. Moore; 13. Julian Edelman; 14. Amari Cooper; 15. T.Y. Hilton. Sleeper: D.K. Metcalf. On the Slide: A.J. Green, Alshon Jefferey, Emmanuel Sanders.

Wide receiver is probably the most subjective position of any rankings. It’s hard to imagine two Bucs going in the first seven wide receivers off the board, but both Evans and Godwin put up WR1 numbers. Some people may drop OBJ farther than I do. Moore is going to be a star in this league.

TIGHT END – 1. Travis Kelce; 2. George Kittle; 3. Zach Ertz; 4. Darren Waller; 5. Austin Hooper; 6. Hunter Henry; 7. Mark Andrews; 8. Jared Cook; 9. Evan Engram; 10. David Njoku. Sleeper: Noah Fant. On the Slide: Kyle Rudolph, Greg Olsen, Eric Ebron.

The tight end position is enjoying a resurgence with young emerging talent that is spreading throughout the league. Waller and Andrews made the biggest jump in 2019, but there are about 15-20 quality tight ends in the league that are going to make a difference in 2020.

By the type the preseason hype machine is in full force, the rankings of players will likely change dramatically from this year. But take a moment to remember the guys who impressed you the most and don’t let the nine months in between the start of the next fantasy season cloud those memories. Remember the guys you want now – whether a first-round talent or a sleeper and make a point to get them next year.

Here is the final Fantasy Market Report of the season:

RISERS

Jameis Winston – In his last 13 games, he has thrown for more than 300 yards 11 times and 400 or more three times. He also has nine games with two or more TD passes and five games with three or more. If you get penalized by interceptions, his 28 picks have killed you – as it has his team this season. But if you don’t get negative points, Winston has been hard to bench almost all season and has almost 5,000 passing yards and 31 TD passes to show for it.

Kenny Golladay – When the Lions drafted him, the pressure was on because he was touted as the “next Calvin Johnson” – a label impossible to live up to. But, Golladay has become that guy in many respects. Despite a revolving door at QB when Matthew Stafford first got hurt, Golladay is over 1,100 receiving yards, has 117 or more receptions, 11 touchdowns, and at least one TD in nine out of the 15 games he has played. He isn’t respected like he should be because he isn’t a high-volume receiver. When that comes, he could be unstoppable.

Matt Ryan – The Falcons weren’t close to being a playoff team, but it hasn’t been Ryan’s fault. In the 14 games he has played, he has topped 300 yards nine times and had eight games with two or more touchdowns. He has become the epitome of a franchise fantasy quarterback.

Kenyan Drake – In seven games with the Cardinals, he has rushed for almost 600 yards and caught 25 passes. In his last two games, he has been a fantasy playoff workhorse, rushing 46 times for 303 yards and six touchdowns and, for owners in need, he was the answer to a prayer.

Daniel Jones – There aren’t many quarterbacks who have at least one touchdown in every game they’ve started. Jones is one of them. There aren’t many quarterbacks who have accounted for four or more touchdowns in four games – much less four times in 11 starts. Jones is one of them. By the time the analytics crew starts breaking down Dow Jones in the offseason, his stock is going to rise. Don’t sleep on him next year with those weapons around him.

FALLERS

Will Fuller – He is blessed with talent, but simply can’t stay healthy. He has missed four games this season and knocked out of three other early on. In two games, he caught 21 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns. In the other nine games of his 2019 season combined, he has caught 28 passes for 313 yards and no TDs, including six games with less than 45 yards. For all his talent, injuries have killed off much of the early part of his career.

Sony Michel – On Oct. 21, Michel had three rushing touchdowns against the Jets, giving him six touchdowns in seven games and letting owners know they had an every-week starter on their hands. In the eight weeks since, he has been a solid player – three games with 85 or more rushing yards, including the last two, but he hasn’t scored a touchdown and isn’t a factor in the passing game. He is a player who needs to count on TDs to pad his resume. He has none in the last eight games and those who had him this year, likely don’t want him next year.

Jack Doyle – Andrew Luck made him a star, but he and Jacoby Brissett have never found a rhythm together. Dyle is the team’s leading receiver in terms of targets (68), receptions (42) and yards (442), but the reality is that he has been limited to less than 30 yards in 10 of 15 games, including all three weeks of the fantasy playoffs when he didn’t have competition from Eric Ebron. He was supposed to have a big bounce-back season but has been a season-long disappointment.

Sammy Watkins – In the season-opener Watkins caught nine passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns. He hasn’t scored a touchdown since, hasn’t hit 65 yards receiving since and hasn’t topped 50 in the last six games he’s played. That explosive first game hooked Watkins owners, who slowly drowned just about every time they played him.

Gardner Minshew – When he replaced an injured Nick Foles in Week 1, MinshewMania was running wild for a month or so. But, despite being given numerous opportunities to make his case to keep the starting job, he has done very little since to inspire confidence. In his last eight starts, he has one TD or less in six of them and, in his last four games since getting the starting job back, he has thrown for just 691 yards and five touchdowns and become a fantasy afterthought.

How much money will RB Kenyan Drake get in a new contract?

If the Cardinals want to bring him back, it won’t be on the cheap.

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”JERiQJ4CSf-687925-7498″]

Running back Kenyan Drake has played very well since the trade that sent him from the Miami Dolphins to the Arizona Cardinals. In seven games, he has three 100-yard games. He leads the team with 583 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, six in the last two games.

He will be a free agent after the season and is in line for a nice contract. Cardinals general manager Steve Keim has publicly stated he would like to bring him back.

The question is whether or not the Cardinals will be willing to pay him what he can get.

What sort of contract can he expect to command?

We can look at some comps from the last couple of years for players who have been in similar roles.

Drake has 205 total touches this season. he is 25 years old.

The high end of what Drake could command is what the San Francisco gave Jerick McKinnon.

McKinnon had 201 and 202 touches in his last two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. He was 25 years old and got four years and $30 million, including $18 million in guarantees.

The 49ers also gave a second contract that could be used as a comp for Drake. After Tevin Coleman had 183 and 199 touches in his final two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and was 25 years old, he signed with the 49ers for two years and $8.5 million. It includes $3.25 million guarantees.

Dion Lewis signed a four-year, $19.8 million contract with the Tennessee Titans in 2018. He was 27 years old and coming off a 212-touch season. The deal came with $5.75 million in guarantees.

A fourth deal to use is the one Duke Johnson got from the Houston Texans. He was 25 last season and was sparingly used, never getting more than 165 touches with the Cleveland Browns.

He signed with the Texans for three years and $15.6 million, with $7.57 in guarantees.

Using those four contracts, the yearly average is between $4.25 million and $7.5 million. The guarantees range from $3.25 million to $18 million.

If the Cardinals want to sign Drake and intend on using him as a No. 1 running back, he can probably command four years and about $25 million with about $8 million in guarantees.

Are fans ready for that?

Lots of studs, few duds in Cardinals’ 27-13 win over Seahawks

See whose play stood out for the Cardinals in Week 16.

The Arizona Cardinals were fantastic on Sunday with a 27-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks. For the most part, they had contributions from everyone. Who are the studs from the game? Were there any duds at all?

Stud: RB Kenyan Drake

 Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

Drake continues to make the Cardinals look good for trading for him. He set  a career high for the second week in a row. After 137 yards and four touchdowns in Week 15, he followed it up with 166 yards and two touchdowns. His 80-yard touchdown run in the first quarter set the tone after a bad two series to open the game. He is becoming more and more valuable by the game.

Chasing Ambulances

It is possible that a few leagues use Week 17 and could have these players in question. Even better – use Week 17 to go play a daily game or two. And replacement players are always cheap to use.

RB Mark Ingram – Suffered a calf injury and left the game. He’ll rest in Week 17 regardless and allow Gus Edwards and Justice Hill to replace him. Edwards always gets more carries and would be the better option when they host the Steelers this week.

RB James Conner – Left with a calf injury in the loss to the Jets.  The Steelers used a committee of Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels, and Kerrith Whyte to replace him. They play in Baltimore so there would be marginal fantasy value with just one back. And none with three or even four running backs.

TE Zach Ertz – Left with a rib injury and Dallas Goedert led all receivers with nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Cowboys. The Eagles have to win this week to take the NFC East and Ertz will play if there is any chance. He could be limited though depending on how bad the rib injury is. Goedert is a worthy consideration anyway since the Eagles are almost out of receivers.

RB Chris Carson – Injured his hip and early reports have him likely to miss the rest of the year. But Rashaad Penny already beat him to the injured reserve and C.J. Prosise just broke his arm. Travis Homer is the top of the depth chart at last for now. He is a sixth-round rookie with eight rushing attempts and six receptions over the last four games.  He’s an obvious step down from Carson and the Seahawks face the 49ers this week. They will promote a practice squad guy or find a free agent or both. Limited if any real value this week, though.

Free Agents, Flops and Other Notables

WR Michael Thomas – He set the new NFL record with 145 catches in a season and he still has one more game against the Panthers. In their last meeting during Week 12, Thomas caught 11 passes for 101 yards and a score on the Panthers. 150 is not out of reach and 155 sounds like an average game.

WR DeAndre Hopkins – Faced the No. 32 ranked defense against wide receivers and only caught five passes for 23 yards. And yes, as mind-bending as that seems, it was his worst performance all year – right when you needed him most.

WR Breshad Perriman – For the last four games, he’s gained at least 70 yards and topped 100 yards in the last two. Perriman blew up with 113 yards and three touchdowns in Week 15 after Mike Evans was gone and he laid down seven receptions for 102 yards this week. What will the Bucs do with three viable receivers? Hard to say since Perriman was only signed for one year and will be a free agent in 2020.

TE Tyler Higbee – In his three previous seasons, Higbee never gained 100 yards and averaged just around 17 yards per game. He rarely caught more than two passes and even went seven different weeks without a catch despite playing. When Gerald Everett went out injured in Week 12, there were no expectations on what Higbee might do other than play like he had for three and a half years. But he turned in at least seven catches for 100 yards in each of the last four games. He is the highest-scoring tight end for the last month. He is the third-highest scoring receiver, period.

RB Devonta Freeman – Yet another head-scratcher. Freeman does little all year and yet in Week 16, he ran for 53 yards and a touchdown, plus caught nine passes for 74 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Jaguars. It was his best game of the year and double the fantasy points from ten other of his games this season.

QB Will Grier – The Panthers’ third-round pick finally took his debut start in the loss to the Colts. He only completed 27 of 44 passes for 224 yards and three interceptions. But – he connected 15 times with Christian McCaffrey and his other 13 completions were spread over eight players. At least he was kind to the McCaffrey owners in their championships – because he was in a lot of them.

WR Tyler Boyd – There were a lot of players that saved their best games for the fantasy championships, even if they sunk their owner’s chances long ago. Boyd only scored three times this season and just once in his first ten games. At Miami this week, he ended with nine catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns.  He turned in just three receptions for 26 yards the previous week.

TE Mike Gesicki – The second-round pick by the Dolphins in 2018, Gesicki did little and never scored until Week 12 of this year. He followed that with a score this next week with 79 yards against the Eagles. In Week 16, he ended with six receptions for 82 yards and two more touchdowns. Worth noting for next year.

RB Alvin Kamara – Ran for 80 yards and two touchdowns at Tennessee and added six catches for 30 yards. That’s a better game than his previous four combined. He only had one rushing touchdown in his first 14 games.

RB Miles Sanders – The Eagles have always employed a committee backfield under HC Doug Pederson. But Jordan Howard remains out and Sanders comes off a big game with 79 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries plus five receptions for 77 yards in the win over the Cowboys. Jordan Howard was only signed for 2019, so could it be? I bet not. Shame though.

RB Kenyan Drake – Where was this when he was in Miami? Drake ran for 166 yards and two scores plus caught three passes for 18 yards. After his first touchdown, he celebrated by pretending to open a safe, load money in a bag and then throw it over his shoulder and walk away. He had 146 total yards and a score last week. And yes, he’s going to be carrying a big bag of money when he becomes a free agent next year.

4,000-yard passers – These quarterbacks have a shot at 4,000 yards on the season (Name and need) – Russell Wilson (123), Patrick Mahomes (143), Deshaun Watson (148), Tom Brady (164), Carson Wentz (250). That would make ten this year and there were 12 in 2018.

1,000-yard rushers – These running backs are close to the mark – Joe Mixon (25), Phillip Lindsay (42), Saquon Barkley (89).

1,000-yard receivers – It’s not just for wideouts anymore – Austin Ekeler (50), Christian McCaffrey (67), Tyler Boyd (13), DJ Chark (26), Mike Williams (37), Odell Beckham (46), A.J. Brown (73), Terry McLaurin (81), George Kittle (33), and Zach Ertz (84).

RB Saquon Barkley  –  This is ironic. The first pick in most fantasy drafts has been a bust against all expectations. He missed three games and never ran for 100 yards since Week 2. There are not a lot of teams that weathered such a bad flop from their No. 1 pick. But those that did were rewarded with 22 carries for 189 yards and one touchdown, plus four receptions for 90 more yards and a second score. It was everything you expected and never got. Until Week 16.

Salute!
