2021 Rush/Rec Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Through the first six games of last season, Drake was once again an afterthought in a mess of a Miami backfield, and he never managed more than 44 rushing yards in a game while splitting carries with lesser talents like Kalen Ballage. Eventually dealt to a Cardinals team in need of warm bodies in the backfield, Drake gave his new team much more that it could have expected, erupting for 110 yards in his first game for Arizona and later capping the season with 363 yards and seven rushing TDs in the final three weeks. In coach Kliff Kingsbury's offense, Drake's speed and elusiveness were on full display, and in the process he established himself as a viable No. 1 back for the Cards. Good as his half-season debut was, however, it's possible his ceiling is even higher. He didn't get much of a chance to show his skills as more than dumpoff/screen receiver for his new coach, and the offense as a whole figures to take a huge step forward with DeAndre Hopkins joining the fray and second-year quarterback Kyler Murray expected to continue his development. With Chase Edmonds around as a capable backup, Drake may be capped at 250-300 touches, but if you combine his second-half rushing pace from 2019 with his 2018 receiving numbers, he'd be among the elite fantasy options at his position.

RANKS

Held in check by Rams' front
Drake registered 36 yards on 10 carries while securing all three of his targets for 15 receiving yards during Sunday's 18-7 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Though Chris Streveler had his moments in relief of Kyler Murray (ankle) for roughly three-quarters of the contest, the upside of Arizona's offense was undoubtedly capped without a healthy Murray under center. Drake garnered 77 percent of the Cardinals' RB carries, but that fact doesn't carry as much weight given the pass-first game script Arizona was ushered into. The Cardinals never led in the second half, with the offense making just two trips into the red zone all day (one coming via a Jordan Hicks interception). Drake wraps up his first full season in Arizona with 955 rushing yards and 10 rushing scores over 239 attempts, along with 25 catches for 137 yards. The 26-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, while Chase Edmonds remains under contract with the Cardinals through 2021.

Trevor Lawrence may be a rookie but his upside is substantial and his starting role is all but assured, leading the writer to select Lawrence as his QB2 in the third round.

Jerry Donabedian breaks down his strategy for a best-ball tournament, building a team around Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas and a couple other Saints.

The Eagles aren't likely to reach the playoffs in 2021, but they should be an interesting team for fantasy purposes, rebuilding around Jalen Hurts and Dallas Goedert on offense.

Jerry Donabedian dives into 2021 NFL best ball, picking 12th in his first draft of the year. With running backs flying off the board in the early rounds, there was value to be had at QB and WR.
Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
2016
Expected to step into a starting role in 2018, Drake instead saw fewer carries than he had the year before, as since-fired coach Adam Gase stuck the third-year back into a timeshare with the ageless Frank Gore. To be fair to Gase, Gore actually posted the higher YPC of the two, and the coach did deploy Drake much more often as a receiver, but the end result was barely 1,000 scrimmage yards for the Alabama product. Drake's big-play ability is unquestioned, and he possesses elite elusiveness as well as the speed to escape defenders in the open field. Despite a frame that's a little narrower than the NFL ideal, he has yet to miss a game as a pro, likely due to the combination of his modest workload and the difficulty of laying a clean hit on him. With Gore in Buffalo and second-year back Kalen Ballage as his main competition, Drake once again has a chance to earn more work, but it remains to be seen whether new offensive coordinator Chad O'Shea (who spent a decade under Bill Belichick as the receivers coach and is accustomed to backfield committees) will commit to giving Drake 200-plus touches. The fourth-year pro saw his cause take a knock when he suffered a foot injury in August, leaving Ballage -- at least temporarily -- as the top option in the Miami backfield.
