Chase Edmonds - No. 1 on depth chart Edmonds enters the 2021 season as the No. 1 running back on the Cardinals' depth chart. Impact In the one preseason game in which Edmonds and offseason acquisition James Conner played together in August, Edmonds earned seven snaps on offense to the latter's six. Neither was targeted, while Edmonds had one three-yard carry to Conner's two rushes for one yard. Not much was learned about the potential breakdown of backfield reps between the two for the regular season, but coach Kliff Kingsbury has since told Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site, "We see it as 1A and 1B, either one can come in and start games for us and get the lion's share of the touches." That's not exactly great news to hear from a fantasy perspective, but Edmonds' experience under Kingsbury and Conner's voluminous medical chart may allow the former to be the main RB more weeks than not in Arizona.
