News

  • Cut by Green Bay

    The Packers cut Drake from their practice squad Friday.

    Analysis: Drake appeared in just one game for the Packers since signing with their practice squad in early December, carrying the ball once for zero yards on five total snaps (all offensive). In a corresponding move, Green Bay signed cornerback David Long to its practice squad.

  • Back to practice squad

    Drake reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Drake played five offensive snaps in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers, rushing for no gain on his only carry. With AJ Dillon (thumb) potentially unavailable again in Week 16 versus the Panthers, Drake could be asked to return to the active roster.

  • Gets first carry with Green Bay

    Drake had one carry for zero yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Drake recorded his first carry since signing with Green Bay, but it went nowhere, and he was on the field for less than a handful of other plays. He remains an intriguing backfield option for the Packers, but not much else as things stand.

  • Elevated from practice squad again

    The Packers elevated Drake from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest versus Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: This is the second straight week that Drake has been elevated ahead of game day. Last week, he wasn't given the opportunity to log an offensive snap despite Aaron Jones (knee) being unable to play. Jones is questionable again for Sunday, as is AJ Dillon (thumb) -- if both running backs are held out against the Buccaneers, Drake could be in line for a fair amount of work, but he could again be stuck mostly on the sidelines if Jones and/or Dillon suit up.

  • Back to practice squad

    Drake reverted to the Packers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Drake received an opportunity with the active roster for Monday's loss to the Giants with Aaron Jones still nursing a knee injury. However, the veteran running back never saw a snap and remained on the sidelines throughout the contest. If Jones remains out Sunday against the Buccaneers, Drake will be a likely candidate to earn another opportunity with the active roster.

  • Elevated for MNF

    Drake was elevated from Green Bay's practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: With Aaron Jones (knee) expected to sit out, Drake will provide running back depth in a backfield that includes AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor. Dillon has generally handled the majority of backfield touches in previous instances when Jones -- who is officially listed as questionable Monday -- has been unavailable.

  • Joins Packers' practice squad

    The Packers signed Drake to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: In a corresponding move, Green Bay cut fellow running back James Robinson from the practice squad. Drake may take a week or two to acclimate himself to a new offense, but he'll provide depth to a backfield that currently is without Aaron Jones, who has missed the past two games due to an MCL sprain. On the season, Drake has three touches for 31 yards from scrimmage in two games for the Ravens.

  • In line to sign with Packers

    The Packers are expected to sign Drake, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if Drake will join the active roster or practice squad, but he'll nonetheless provide depth to a backfield that hasn't had Aaron Jones available the last two games due to a sprained MCL. AJ Dillon has paced the backfield in Jones' stead, and Patrick Taylor and practice-squad member James Robinson have got in the mix as well. As for Drake, he made two appearances for the Ravens this season back in Weeks 3 and 5, totaling three touches for 31 yards from scrimmage.

  • Stint in Cleveland ends

    Drake was cut from the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Drake landed with Cleveland's practice squad roughly one month ago after his release from Baltimore, but the Browns have now decided to part ways with the veteran running back. The Alabama product has appeared in two games this season (both with the Ravens), logging 31 total yards on three touches. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed RB John Kelly to their practice squad.

  • Coming to Cleveland

    The Browns signed Drake to their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Caplan of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old back out of Alabama ended up in Cleveland after he was cut from the Ravens' practice squad two weeks ago. Drake appeared in two games for Baltimore this year, recording 31 scrimmage yards on three total touches. In corresponding moves, the Browns cut running backs Jordan Wilkins and Nate McCrary from their practice squad.

  • Cut from practice squad

    The Ravens cut Drake from the practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old played 12 offensive snaps across two games for the Ravens, rushing one time for zero yards and catching two of three targets for 31 yards. With Keaton Mitchell healthy behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill, Drake is no longer needed in Baltimore.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Drake reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Drake was elevated for the second time this season for Sunday's Week 5 clash against the Steelers but played just one offensive snap and failed to log a single stat. With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) and Keaton Mitchell (shoulder) both on injured reserve, Drake might have another opportunity for a promotion ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

  • Elevated Saturday

    Drake was elevated to Baltimore's 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Drake's elevation suggests that the Ravens will likely be without running back Justice Hill this coming Sunday. Drake, an eight-year veteran, was active for Baltimore's Week 3 loss to Indianapolis, recording three touches for 31 total yards.

  • Sent back to practice squad

    Drake reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Baltimore signed Drake to its practice squad last Wednesday, and he was quickly elevated for Week 3, logging one carry for zero yards and catching two of three targets for 31 yards against Indianapolis. Though he moved back to the practice squad Monday, he could be elevated again for Week 4 if either Gus Edwards (head) or Justice Hill (foot) are ruled out. If both injured running backs can't play, Drake could see plenty of work alongside fellow practice-squad RB Melvin Gordon as the team's only…read more

  • Sees one carry

    Drake rushed the ball once for zero yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts. He added two receptions for 31 yards.

    Analysis: Drake was elevated from the practice squad after signing with the team Wednesday. That likely explains his lack of involvement in the offense, even after Gus Edwards (concussion) was forced from the game in the fourth quarter. It's possible that Drake is back in the mix in Week 4 against the Browns, pending the availability of Edwards and Justice Hill (toe).

  • Bounces up to active roster

    Drake was elevated to the Ravens' active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts.

    Analysis: Drake and fellow practice-squad callup Melvin GordonJ.K. Dobbins (Achilles) and a problematic turf toe injury for Justice Hill, who will not play Sunday. Gus Edwards still remains the team's optimal thumper out of the backfield, but he's an unproven pass catcher. Both Drake and Gordon have had plenty of experience in the passing game throughout their careers, but it's unclear which of the two will ultimately become the team's situational spell back for Edwards.

  • Joining Baltimore's practice squad

    Drake agreed Wednesday to join the Ravens' practice squad, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) on injured reserve and out for the season, Drake and fellow practice squad member Melvin Gordon will provide Baltimore with added backfield depth behind Justice Hill and Gus Edwards. Drake has familiarity with the Ravens after appearing in 12 games for the team in 2022, carrying 109 times for 482 yards and four touchdowns to go with 17 catches for 89 yards and another score.

  • Released by Indy

    The Colts released Drake on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Zack Moss (arm) potentially unavailable for Week 1, Drake's release comes as a bit of a surprise. The 2016 third-round pick latched on with the Colts at the beginning of August and appeared to be in a good position to carve out a role in Indianapolis' depleted running back room. However, it looks like the team didn't see enough from Drake and have opted to roll with Deon Jackson, Evan Hull, Jason Huntley and Jake Funk instead. Drake has bounced around the league…read more

  • Five carries in preseason opener

    Drake had five carries for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason loss at Buffalo.

    Analysis: Drake worked with the second team as he tries to win a final reserve roster spot after joining the Colts last week. He's a long shot to win a roster spot but may be needed with Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor out due to injury.

    The Colts are signing Drake, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With top back Jonathan Taylor on the active/PUP list due to an ankle issue and in the midst of an ongoing contract dispute -- and Zack Moss' Week 1 status in question due to a broken arm -- Drake gives the Colts' backfield some added depth and experience ahead of the team's preseason opener. His main competition for depth slotting will be Deon Jackson, Evan Hull and Jake Funk, but if Drake impresses this summer, he could emerge as a candidate for Week 1 touches, pending the status of both…read more

  • Inactive Sunday

    Drake is inactive for Sunday night's playoff game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: With J.K. Dobbins, who was rested in Week 18, back in the lineup, Drake is the odd man out in Baltimore's backfield versus Cincinnati. In the mix behind Dobbins on Sunday are Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.

  • Fills in effectively

    Drake rushed the ball 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-16 loss to the Bengals. He added two receptions on five targets for 19 yards.

    Analysis: Drake had been inactive for each of Baltimore's last three games, but he got back in action with J.K. Dobbins (rest) sidelined. His workload expanded further when Gus Edwards exited late in the first quarter, and Drake took advantage by contributing significantly in the form of an 18-yard run and a four-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter. Depending on Edwards' status, Drake could have a role in Baltimore's wild-card round rematch against the Bengals.

  • Inactive for Week 17

    Drake is inactive for Sunday's night's game against the Steelers, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: Drake remains the odd man out in the Ravens' backfield in Week 17, which leaves J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to lead the team's rushing attack versus Pittsburgh, with Justice Hill in reserve.

    Drake (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Now that the Baltimore backfield has returned to full strength in recent weeks with both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards moving past their respective injuries, Drake could begin to find himself on the inactive list on a regular basis the rest of the way. Though Drake has often received carries ahead of third-stringer Justice Hill when one or both of Dobbins or Edwards has been absent this season, Hill will be active over Drake for the second week in a row due to his ability to contribute on…read more

  • Three touches in win

    Drake carried the ball once for one yard and secured both of his targets for one yard in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Drake operated as the Ravens' No. 3 running back in the contest behind both J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. With just three touches on 11 offensive snaps, Drake was a complete nonfactor Sunday, while Dobbins played 26 snaps and Edwards was on the field for 21 snaps. Going forward, it's likely that Baltimore uses a similar rotation out of the backfield, which would diminish Drake's fantasy value. The veteran should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Ravens visit the Browns in Week 15.

  • Paces Ravens backfield Sunday

    Drake had seven carries for 29 yards along with two catches for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Drake paced the backfield in snap share at 47 percent and was the team's most effective running back overall, out-rushing Gus Edwards by 17 yards on just one more carry. The offense shifted after Lamar Jackson went out with a knee injury and backup Tyler Huntley ultimately led the team in rushing. Though Drake was the top back Sunday, Edwards could continue to push for the lead role as he gets closer to 100 percent.

  • Handles two carries in loss

    Drake carried the ball twice for two yards and failed to secure his only target in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: As expected, Drake saw a major reduction in his role Sunday with teammate Gus Edwards active for the contest. Drake's two carries and two rushing yards were his lowest totals of the season in each category. Meanwhile, Edwards dominated in touches out of the backfield, handling 16 carries in his first game action since Week 8. With J.K. Dobbins (knee) nearing a return from injured reserve, it is fair to assume that Drake should likely see his role diminish even further as a change-of-pace back.…read more

  • Headed for role reduction

    Drake is expected to move back into a reserve role out of the backfield for Sunday's game against the Jaguars with Gus Edwards (hamstring/knee) active for the contest, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Edwards was sidelined for Baltimore's past two games, Drake started and played at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps on both occasions, combining to produce 139 rushing yards and two scores on 34 carries to go with four receptions for 23 yards. Edwards isn't expected to face any major limitations in his return to the lineup Sunday and should settle back in as the Ravens' clear lead option on the ground, relegating Drake and Justice Hill to change-of-pace work behind him.

  • Serviceable as lead back Sunday

    Drake rushed 10 times for 46 yards and brought in two of four targets for seven yards in the Ravens' 13-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Drake once again handled lead-back duties with Gus Edwards (hamstring/knee) sidelined, but the Ravens saw Lamar Jackson pace them in rush attempts with 11. That led to a relatively quiet performance for Drake, who was also stymied, save for a game-long 29-yard run, by a Panthers defense that had been very susceptible to the run in recent games. If Edwards is back in action for a Week 12 road matchup against the Jaguars, Drake will likely fall back into a timeshare with his teammate.

  • Beneficiary of Gus Edwards' absence

    Drake is expected to retain a lead role out of the Baltimore backfield in Sunday's game against the Panthers while Gus Edwards (hamstring/knee) is inactive for a second straight contest, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to the Ravens' Week 10 bye, Edwards sat out Baltimore's 27-13 win over New Orleans on Nov. 7. In that contest, Drake played 66 percent of the Ravens' snaps on offense and carried 24 times for 93 yards and two scores to go with two catches for 16 yards, while Justice Hill served as the clear No. 2 option and finished with 19 yards on five touches over a 26 percent snap share. A similar distribution of the playing time and touches could be on tap Week 11, as the Ravens enter the contest as…read more

  • May get another crack at lead role

    Drake appears likely to serve as the Ravens' lead running back in Sunday's game against the Panthers with Gus Edwards (hamstring/knee) listed as questionable but trending toward sitting out, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport notes that the Ravens could choose to keep Edwards active if he checks out better than anticipated during a pregame workup, but even if the running back suits up, Adam Schefter of ESPN suggests Edwards may be available only in a "limited manner." With that in mind, Drake seems to be the most likely option to lead the Baltimore backfield in touches, after he carried 24 times for 93 yards and two scores while adding 16 yards on two receptions in the absence of Edwards during the Ravens'…read more

  • Headlines win over Saints

    Drake rushed the ball 24 times for 93 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 27-13 win over the Saints. He added two receptions for 16 yards.

    Analysis: In the absence of Gus Edwards (hamstring) and J.K. Dobbins (knee), Drake dominated carries out of the Baltimore backfield. Though he averaged only 3.9 yards per carry, he managed two rushes of more than 10 yards and also tallied touchdowns of one and three yards. Despite the strong performance, Drake's value could be in jeopardy moving forward as the Baltimore backfield will have the chance to get healthy with the team heading into its Week 10 bye.

  • Likely to start for Edwards

    Drake is expected to replace Gus Edwards (hamstring) -- who is listed as doubtful -- as Baltimore's lead option on the ground in Monday's game against the Saints, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Analysis: After Edwards exited early in the Ravens' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers with the hamstring injury, Drake stepped in to play 57 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps while finishing with 62 yards on seven carries to go with four receptions for five yards and a touchdown. In addition to his expected role as the Ravens' top ball carrier, Drake will likely continue to see some involvement as a pass catcher, though Justice Hill projects to have a role as Baltimore's main change-of-pace option.…read more

    Drake rushed seven times for 62 yards and brought in all four targets for five yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-22 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Gus Edwards exited the game early with a hamstring injury that apparently doesn't seem serious per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun, which gave Drake some extra opportunities that he put to good use. The veteran back finished second to Edwards in rushing yards and also recorded a five-yard game-tying touchdown grab in the third quarter for his second score of the season overall.

  • Held to five yards in Week 7

    Drake rushed 11 times for five yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: After rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against the Giants in the previous game, Drake was bottled up by the Browns. Gus Edwards (knee) made his season debut and was far more effective on the ground, scoring two touchdowns while racking up 66 yards on 16 carries. Edwards should function as Baltimore's top rushing option for the remainder of J.K. Dobbins' (knee) absence, while Drake likely will be limited to a change-of-pace role.

  • Set to help fill in for Dobbins

    With J.K. Dobbins (knee) on injured reserve, Drake, Justice Hill and Gus Edwards will handle the Ravens' backfield duties Sunday against the Browns, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was activated from the PUP list on Saturday following a lengthy layoff, so it's unclear how much volume he'll see in his return to the mix. Last week against the Giants, with Hill sidelined, Drake racked up 119 yards and a TD on 10 carries in relief of Dobbins, so he should have an opportunity to build off that effort this Sunday, though once Edwards is able to re-prove his health he's a candidate to claim a solid portion of the team's early down touches.

  • Poised for expanded role

    With J.K. Dobbins (knee) out Sunday against the Browns, Drake and Justice Hill are in line to see added touches in the Ravens' Week 7 backfield, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Hensley, it's unclear if Gus Edwards (knee) will be activated from the PUP list ahead of Sunday's contest. However, with Dobbins unavailable and reportedly expected to undergo a knee scope that could cost him 4-to-6 weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Drake has a chance to make a fantasy impact in the coming weeks on the heels of racking up 119 yards and a TD on 10 carries in relief of Dobbins in this past Sunday's loss to the Giants.

  • Could handle lead role Sunday

    Drake could be in line to lead the Ravens backfield Sunday versus the Browns after J.K. Dobbins (knee) was ruled out for Week 7.

    Analysis: Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Dobbins is slated to have arthroscopic knee surgery in the near future that will sideline him for 4-to-6 weeks. As a result, Drake could be the lead runner for a run-heavy offense for the foreseeable future, even if Gus Edwards (knee) is activated from the reserve/PUP list. Drake's current healthy competitors for touches on the active roster are Justice Hill and Mike Davis. Drake reeled off 127 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 11 touches in the midst of…read more

  • Steps up in second half

    Drake rushed the ball 10 times for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants. He added one reception for eight yards.

    Analysis: Drake was involved throughout the game but served as the team's primary rusher in the second half after J.K. Dobbins was held out with knee tightness. Drake was a driving force behind the offense, as he ripped off two 30-yard rushes -- one of which went for a touchdown -- and another 21-yard gain. He entered Sunday's matchup having averaged only 3.1 yards per carry and no rushes of more than 20 yards across 21 carries, so it's unclear at best whether he may be able to replicate these results…read more

  • Closes out SNF win

    Drake rushed four times for 26 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Drake was back on the active roster following Justice Hill's (ankle) injury last week against Buffalo. The early-season acquisition leapfrogged fellow veteran Mike Davis to serve as J.K. Dobbins' (eight carries for 44 yards) primary backup. It was interesting to note that it was Drake, and not Dobbins, who was used as the primary back on Baltimore's game-winning drive in the final two minutes of action. Barring an undisclosed injury, this may have simply been a matchup play by the Ravens'…read more

  • Comes up small against former team

    Drake rushed six times for eight yards and was not targeted in the passing game during the Ravens' 42-38 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran was thought to be poised for an expanded role Sunday with J.K. Dobbins (knee) being held out for another week, but it never materialized in the wild loss. In fairness, Drake wasn't alone in being stymied by the Dolphins' defensive front, as Mike Davis gained just four yards on five totes himself. Dobbins was able to practice in full leading up to Sunday, so it appears likely the third-year back will suit up Week 3 against the Patriots, which could relegate Drake to a minimal role or…read more

  • Expanded role in Week 2

    With J.K. Dobbins (knee) inactive, Drake is in line to again see added work in the Ravens' backfield Sunday against the Dolphins, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Dobbins sidelined in the Ravens' 24-9 win over the Jets last weekend, Drake, who Hensley indicates will start Sunday, logged 33 snaps on offense en route to carrying 11 times for 31 yards and logging one catch for 15 yards, while Mike Davis was out there for seven snaps (two carries for 11 yards) and Justice Hill saw 11 snaps and rushed twice for four yards and caught two passes for seven yards.

    Drake is expected to serve as the Ravens' lead running back Sunday against the Dolphins with J.K. Dobbins (knee) listed as questionable but considered unlikely to play, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Even though Dobbins was a full practice participant all week, the Ravens apparently want to see him log some more on-field reps before clearing him for game action. Assuming Dobbins is included among the Ravens' inactive list that will be released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Drake will be poised to headline the Baltimore backfield for the second straight week.

  • Modest production as lead back

    Drake rushed 11 times for 31 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Drake led the Ravens in carries and rushing yards with J.K. Dobbins (knee) inactive, but the veteran running back didn't find much running room, as Baltimore relied on Lamar Jackson's arm and its defense to pull away. While Drake should maintain the lead role over Mike Davis and Justice Hill if Dobbins continues to sit out in Week 2 against Miami, Drake's far from a lock to provide much fantasy value in that role.

    With J.K. Dobbins (knee) inactive, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com indicates that the Ravens will turn to Mike Davis and Drake to lead the team's Week 1 backfield.

    Analysis: Justice Hill is also available to mix in, but it looks like Davis and Drake are in line to largely fill the void created by Dobbins' absence. Though Mike Garafolo of NFL Network suggests that Davis may draw the start Sunday, he expects the Ravens to employ a rotation that will include Drake. It's a scenario that could result in the anticipated Week 1 timeshare tilting in the direction of which back emerges as the hot hand.

    Drake signed with the Ravens on Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Released by the Raiders last week, Drake met with the Ravens on Tuesday and apparently passed a physical. He could get touches Week 1, as J.K. Dobbins (knee) is uncertain to play, and the Ravens otherwise have only Mike Davis and Justice Hill on their 53-man roster at running back. Davis would likely be the starter if Dobbins isn't ready for Baltimore's season opener against the Jets.

    Analysis: The move was expected in the absence of the Raiders fielding a last-minute trade offer, but now Drake is free to catch on with another team looking to add backfield depth. Until the 28-year-old finds a landing spot, he'll remain a speculative fantasy option, but in the right context Drake could earn enough playing time down the road to earn consideration in fantasy lineups.

    Analysis: The fact that Drake received six touches (three carries and three catches) in the Raiders' third preseason game in Miami on Saturday -- when several key offensive players were rested -- was a firm indication the 28-year-old was on the roster bubble.

    Analysis: The veteran was the second running back in, but he didn't find much success against one of his old squads. Drake has seemingly been battling rookie Zamir White for the No. 2 running back job behind workhorse lead back Josh Jacobs, and while neither has gotten much done on the ground in the last two games, the younger and more explosive White showed more burst during an 11-carry, 52-yard performance in the Hall of Fame Game preseason opener versus the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Starter Josh Jacobs (rest) and veteran backup Ameer Abdullah (rest) were both held out of this contest after getting heavy work in the Hall of Fame Game last week, so rookie Zamir White started and split work with Drake. The latter looked sharp with his six touches in head coach Josh McDaniels' new offense. Drake will duke it out with the aforementioned running back options this preseason to determine the pecking order behind Jacobs. So far, it doesn't look great for the 29-year-old.

The veteran back seems to be fully recovered from the ankle injury that cut short his 2021 campaign, and as Week 1 approaches he'll look to solidify his standing in a Raiders backfield that also includes Jacobs, Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon Bolden.

    Analysis: Drake compiled just 545 scrimmage yards across 12 appearances in his inaugural season in Las Vegas, and he's currently recovering from season-ending right ankle surgery. Agreeing to restructure his deal helps the Raiders free up cap space for some potential splashes in free agency, and keeps the the 28-year-old on track to operate as the No. 2 backfield option behind Josh Jacobs in new coach Josh McDaniels' scheme.

He also failed to catch multiple passes for the first time since Week 5, but game script wasn't in his favor Sunday as the Raiders' offense didn't see a lot of the ball and didn't fall behind by more than one score until the fourth quarter.

However, starter Josh Jacobs secured five targets of his own as Drake played less than one third of the team's 54 total offensive snaps.

Starter Josh Jacobs paced the team's rushing attack with 13 carries for 76 yards, though Drake proved more useful in the passing game.

Drake played a season-low 20 offensive snaps, which came as somewhat of a surprise given that the Raiders trailed by multiple scores for much of the contest.

    Drake carried the ball seven times for nine yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Steelers. He added five receptions on six targets for 46 yards.

    Analysis: Drake was out-carried by Peyton Barber 13-7. Neither mustered much on the ground, as Drake was limited to 1.3 yards per carry with his longest rush going for five yards. He showed a bit more promise as a receiver, breaking off gains of 13, 11 and 10 yards in that role.

However, considering Jacobs managed only 34 yards on his 10 carries and caught only one pass for six yards, Drake outgained his new backfield partner overall.

    Analysis: Drake landed on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday with an undisclosed issue, though the Raiders didn't appear to be particularly concerned. He was considered day-to-day with a chance of returning to practice Friday, and he has indeed done so.

  • May return to practice soon

    Drake (undisclosed) is considered "day-to-day," with the aim of returning to practice Friday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Drake worked on the side at Wednesday's practice, and the Raiders eventually placed him on the non-football injury list. The nature of his injury is unknown, but considering he may practice by week's end, it clearly isn't severe. With Jalen Richard (undisclosed) and Theo Riddick (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the number of running backs currently available at Las Vegas' training camp has been cut in half.

  • Placed on NFI list

    Raiders placed Drake (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Las Vegas has yet to announce an injury for Drake, but Tashan Reed of The Athletic noted that the running back was off to the side working with the Raiders' training staff during practice Wednesday. With Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick both having landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team's backfield depth is being taxed early on in training camp.

  • May be nursing minor injury

    Drake was working off to the side with the training staff while his teammates practiced Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Drake isn't known to be dealing with an injury, Reed notes that pass-catching backs Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick also were held out for the first practice of training camp. Drake's presence on a side field suggests he's merely dealing with a minor injury, but it'll be something to keep an eye on if he doesn't return to practice within the first couple weeks of camp. He signed a two-year, $11 million contract with Las Vegas this offseason, joining Josh Jacobs to form an impressive…read more

  • Could see WR snaps

    Though Drake will be working in the same backfield as Josh Jacobs this coming season, the Raiders' free-agent acquisition expects to "be used in a multitude of ways" by his new team, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Despite having Jacobs -- who's topped 1,000 rushing yards in each his first two NFL seasons -- atop their backfield depth chart, the Raiders were aggressive in pursuing Drake, giving him a two-year deal for $11 million guaranteed that includes up to $3.5 million in incentives. That's solid money in the current running back free agent market, which suggests that coach Jon Gruden will look to find different ways to use Drake as a chess piece in the Las Vegas offense. According to Drake, Gruden…read more

  • Signs with Raiders

    Drake is signing a two-year, $11 million contract with the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The deal reportedly can go up to $14.5 million with incentives, though Drake could have a tough time putting up big numbers in a backfield that already has Josh Jacobs and Jalen Richard. This outcome is suboptimal for Drake's fantasy value, with Jacobs being a 2019 first-round pick who put up back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons to start his career. Jacobs did drop from 4.8 YPC in 2019 to 3.9 in 2020, but Drake (4.0 YPC) suffered a similar fate in Arizona, where Chase Edmonds now sits atop…read more

  • 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…read more

  • Finds end zone amid tough sledding

    Drake carried 18 times for 45 yards and a touchdown while catching both his targets for five additional yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Drake carried the mail after Chase Edmonds (hip) left the game in the second quarter, but he averaged just 2.5 yards per carry and did little as a pass catcher as well. He salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a leaping one-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, giving him a career-high 10 touchdowns for the season. Although he's scored six times in the last six games, Drake has averaged fewer than 3.0 yards per carry each of the last two and will look to improve from a yardage…read more

    Drake carried 10 times for 26 yards and caught both his targets for an additional 14 yards during Sunday's 33-26 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Drake managed just 2.6 yards per carry as his long gain went for just eight yards. He caught both passes thrown his way but didn't break off any big gains in that department either as he finished with just 40 scrimmage yards.

  • Could benefit if Edmonds sits

    Drake will likely be in store for a heavier workload Sunday against the Eagles in the event Chase Edmonds (ankle) -- who is considered a game-day decision -- isn't available to play, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: When both Drake and Edmonds have been available this season, the Cardinals have favored a two-pronged approach to the backfield, with the former serving as the team's top ballcarrier and the latter representing the preferred pass-catching option. Edmonds' balky ankle may force the Cardinals to deviate from that plan, however, potentially opening the door for Drake to serve as a true bellcow for the first time all season. If that's the case, Drake should have a clear path to 20-plus touches, as…read more

  • Continues TD binge in win

    Drake (hip) rushed 23 times for 80 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Drake was stuffed at the one-yard line on Arizona's opening drive, which ended with a turnover on downs after an incomplete pass on the ensuing play. He converted from the same distance against a significantly more tired Giants defense to put the Cardinals up 20-0 in the third quarter with his ninth rushing touchdown of the season and fifth in his last four games. Drake out-touched Chase Edmonds 24-11 in this one and should continue to lead Arizona's backfield in Week 15 against the Eagles.

    Drake (hip) is active for Sunday's road game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Drake made an appearance midweek on the Cardinals' injury report and wrapped it up with back-to-back limited sessions. A hip issue was to blame, but it won't stop him from suiting up Sunday, when he'll take on a Giants defense that has allowed 132.3 yards from scrimmage per game and 11 touchdowns to running back this season.

    Drake (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, with coach Kliff Kingsbury suggesting he expects the running back to play, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Drake was added to the injury report Thursday, logging back-to-back limited practices to close out the week. He should be fine to handle his usual backfield role, taking the majority of carries while Chase Edmonds gets most of the playing time on passing snaps. Edmonds would be in line for a three-down workload if Drake makes an unexpected appearance on the inactive list before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Analysis: Drake has contended with a number of injuries this season, including a slight ligament tear in his ankle that sidelined him Week 9. Having said that, he wasn't on Wednesday's report at all, so the hip injury may have occurred in practice. As a result, Drake's status will be one to monitor as the weekend draws closer.

    Drake carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: While the yardage wasn't impressive, Drake's four-yard TD run in the fourth quarter brought the Cards to within a field goal before the Rams pulled away. He's already set a new career high in rushing yards this season, and Sunday's score tied his career high with eight rushing touchdowns. Drake could be productive again in Week 14 against a Giants defense that stifled Russell Wilson in an upset win over Seattle but gave up 110 scrimmage yards and a TD to Chris Carson.

    Analysis: Drake capped Arizona's first drive with a one-yard score one play after being denied a touchdown by a stingy spot. His attempt at a second one-yard plunge on the final play of the first half was ruled just short of the goal line, but there was no doubt about Drake's one-yard touchdown to tie the score at 17 apiece in the fourth quarter.

    Analysis: Drake's modest rushing tally led the Cardinals for the night, but the fifth-year back did reward fantasy managers with a two-yard scoring run early in the second quarter. The 26-year-old was coming off his second 100-yard effort of the campaign Week 10 against the Bills, but Seattle's run defense performed up to its standard and held Drake to a season-low yardage total in the process.

In that contest, he racked up 109 yards from scrimmage on 17 touches. This week, Drake was listed as a limited participant on the Cardinals' first two practice reports before upgrading to full activity Wednesday.

    Analysis: Drake managed to play through his lingering ankle injury during Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills, in which he logged 16 carries for 100 yards -- his second 100-yard rushing game of the year -- and caught his only target for nine yards. His effectiveness upon returning to action and the fact that he wasn't held out of Monday's practice entirely seem to bode well for Drake's chances of suiting up in Seattle on Thursday.

    Drake carried the ball 16 times for 100 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: After missing last week's game with an ankle injury, Drake returned to the lineup and put together his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season. Chase Edmonds still saw 11 touches to Drake's 17, and the duo will likely continue to share the load in the Cardinals' backfield in Week 11 against a porous Seahawks defense that just gave up three rushing TDs to the Rams.

    Analysis: Benefitting from the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, Drake will miss just one contest as a result of the slight ligament tear in his ankle that he suffered Week 7 versus the Seahawks. Whether or not he can handle his typical workload remains to be seen. Through the first seven outings of the season, Drake averaged 18 touches per game while backup Chase Edmonds received 7.9 per game. There's a chance the split between Drake and Edmonds is more even if the former's health still is somewhat compromised.

Drake missed last week's loss to Miami due to the slight ligament tear in his ankle, but thanks to the Week 8 bye he may only end up missing one game.

Drake was carted off the field during Sunday's overtime win against the Seahawks in serious pain.

He was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's eventual win over Seattle, leaving Chase Edmonds as the lead man in the Arizona backfield.

Drake entered Week 6 with a 3.1 yards-per-carry average over his preceding two outings, but he gained 8.2 yards per tote against the Cowboys, much of which can be attributed to a 69-yard fourth-quarter TD jaunt that put an exclamation point on Arizona's dominant performance.

    Analysis: He led the Cards in rushing on the afternoon and scored his second TD of the season, but Drake's 3.3 yards per carry was far from effective and his longest tote went for only 10 yards. Chase Edmonds was more productive on less than half the touches and Drake's hold on the starting job therefore remains tenuous, but both backs could be poised for big days in Week 6 against a porous Dallas defense.

  • Cleared of injury concerns

    Drake (chest) worked out without limitations Monday, indicating that he's cleared after an injury scare during Sunday's loss to the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Cardinals believe Drake merely got the wind knocked out of him, so it appears he was held out as a precaution with the injury occurring in the fourth quarter. Drake is expected to be ready to play in Week 5's clash against the Jets. His performance through four weeks is a larger concern, as he's averaged 3.8 yards per carry and been targeted just five times.

  • Suffers injury Sunday

    Drake (chest) had 13 carries for 35 yards and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-21 loss at Carolina. He left the game in the fourth quarter and didn't return.

    Analysis: Drake didn't make much headway against the Panthers defense, running for three yards or fewer on nine of his rushes. On his final carry (a seven-yarder) with 4:05 remaining, he took a hard hit to the chest, stayed on the ground for a few minutes and eventually jogged to the sidelines, per Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. During a post-game media session, coach Kliff Kingsbury told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that he doesn't "believe it was anything major," but Drake's status now is in some question as the…read more

  • Accounts for 78 scrimmage yards

    Drake carried 18 times for 73 yards and caught his only target for an additional six yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Drake found the sledding a bit tough on the ground as he averaged a pedestrian 4.1 yards per carry against a middling run defense. Despite the absence of Christian Kirk and the fact that the Cardinals were trailing for much of the game, he curiously wasn't used much as a pass catcher and has now drawn just five targets through three games this season. Drake also failed to reach the end zone again and has one touchdown to his name. He still carries plenty of fantasy upside given his current role…read more

  • Solid effort in win

    Drake carried the ball 20 times for 86 yards and caught both his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 30-15 win over Washington.

    Analysis: While he gained plenty of real estate, Drake was denied a chance at some red-zone scores as Kyler Murray ended up running in two touchdowns of his own. Drake could get a chance to rectify that in Week 3 against a Lions defense that just got lit up for over 230 scrimmage yards and three TDs by Aaron Jones.

  • Scores decisive TD against 49ers

    Drake carried 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown while catching both his targets for an additional five yards during Sunday's 24-20 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Drake found the sledding tough against one of the best defensive fronts in the league, finishing with a meager average of 3.8 yards per carry. He also did little as a pass catcher but salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a one-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter to decide the game. Perhaps most importantly, Drake came away unscathed after dealing with injury issues heading into the season, setting him up to be a productive piece of what should be a prolific Arizona offense.…read more

  • Clean bill of health

    Drake (foot) is healthy and ready to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the 49ers, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Drake said that he resumed practicing last Thursday, and that he was out of the walking boot he was spotted wearing Aug. 24 "in like two days." The starting running back then dealt with an illness, but Drake confirmed that he was never dealing with any issue that truly threatened his regular-season availability. The 25-year-old is poised to serve as the clear-cut top option in Arizona's backfield, but he'll face the challenge of overcoming a stout defensive front against San Francisco in Week 1.

  • Practicing Monday

    Drake (foot) took part in the open portion of Monday's practice, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Cardinals took the precaution of placing a walking boot on Drake in the later stages of August, but coach Kliff Kingsbury downplayed the decision, stating it was the result of "just some normal nicks and bruises." As of Aug. 28, Drake was already out of the boot, but Monday's on-field work was his first in two weeks. Look for the running back to continue increasing his activity level as a Week 1 game in San Francisco approaches.

  • Nearing return to practice

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that Drake (foot) is close to a return to all activity at practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: As a precaution, Drake spent much of last week in a walking boot due to the "normal nicks and bruises" from camp. While he didn't return to drills Friday, he was seen jogging without the aforementioned protective boot. In the end, the goal is to have Drake as healthy as possible and "comfortable with the game plan" before Week 1, so his practice reps could be capped when he returns to the practice field.

  • Sheds walking boot

    Though Drake (foot) isn't practicing Friday, he was spotted jogging around on the field without a walking boot, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Both the running back and coach Kliff Kingsbury have downplayed Drake's foot issue, with the team's lead back having previously noted that he also used a walking boot at times last summer. Though it would be reassuring to see Drake return to practicing fully in short order, his presence on the field Friday is encouraging and supports the narrative that he'll be available for Week 1 action.

  • Held out again

    Drake (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: Drake and coach Kliff Kingsbury both have suggested the foot issue isn't a big problem, with the running back noting that he also used a walking boot last summer to avoid complications with a minor injury. Kingsbury, meanwhile, referred to the injury was "just some normal nicks and bruises" and said Drake's absence from practice was "precautionary." Given that Drake's role in the Arizona backfield is secure, some missed practices shouldn't really matter in the long run, so long as he's ready…read more

  • Walking boot downplayed

    Though Drake, who was held out of practice Monday, was seen in a walking boot, both the running back and coach Kliff Kingsbury are downplaying the situation, Cameron La Fontaine of 12 News KPNX reports. "It's just some normal nicks and bruises, normal camp stuff. It's just kind of precautionary with him, knowing what he'll be able to do," Kingsbury noted of Drake's status Monday.

    Analysis: For his part, Drake put out a tweet Monday that said, "no worries. I'm good," while pointing out that he also used a walking boot last summer. In any case, at this stage, the running back's availability for Week 1 action does not seem to be in danger.

  • Spotted in walking boot

    Drake is wearing a walking boot while he watches his teammates practice Monday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kliff Kingsbury used the words "precautionary" and "soreness" but declined to provide any substantial details, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports. While the use of a walking boot isn't a good sign, it doesn't necessarily mean the injury is serious. For now, we can expect Chase Edmonds to see more practice reps with the first-team offense, which in turn frees up additional opportunities for Eno Benjamin, D.J. Foster and Jonathan Ward to run with the second-stringers. The…read more

  • More targets could be on tap

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury relayed that Drake is expected to be utilized more in the Cardinals' passing attack this season, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. "He's hard to tackle one-on-one in space," Kingsbury said Monday. "So that's an area we'd like to get him more involved in."

    Analysis: Drake was thrown into the fire upon his arrival in Arizona last October, joining the team on a Monday and starting in that Thursday's clash with the 49ers in Week 9. His elevation to No. 1 RB was solidified soon afterward, and he effectively made David Johnson and Chase Edmonds afterthoughts in the offense. Overall, Drake complemented 643 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground with 28 catches and 171 yards as a receiver in eight games. During his time with the Dolphins, he averaged 8.1 yards…read more

  • Discussing long-term deal

    General manager Steve Keim said Wednesday that the Cardinals want to sign Drake to a long-term contract.

    Analysis: Drake signed a one-year transition tender for $8.4 million in late March, creating a July 15 deadline for any negotiations on a longer contract. The Cardinals also are talking with DeAndre Hopkins' agent about a new deal, but Keim suggested the team is mostly focused on the upcoming draft and thus more likely to finalize extensions after the draft concludes April 25. The 26-year-old Drake is primed to head the Arizona backfield in 2020, with only Chase Edmonds and D.J. Foster behind him on the…read more

  • Officially signs tender

    Drake signed his transition tag tender Saturday according to the Cardinals organization.

    Analysis: This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering the transition tag allowed for the Cardinals to match any sort of offer Drake might have received on the open market. The former Dolphins tailback will headline a new-look offense that now features explosive wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and, perhaps more importantly in terms of Drake's potential production, one that will be absent David Johnson, who was sent to the Texans in the deal that netted the All-Pro wideout.

  • Gets transition tag

    The Cardinals are placing a transition tag on Drake, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The transition tag doesn't involve any draft pick compensation but does allow the team to match any offer sheet. It's a strong indication the Cardinals intend to keep Drake, be it through their own negotiations or by matching a deal he signs with another team. Of course, there's always some chance -- however small -- that the running back gets a huge offer the Cardinals aren't willing to match.

  • Negotiating with Arizona

    Drake and the Cardinals have engaged in contract talks, with GM Steve Keim saying he hopes to re-sign the running back, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Keim also commented on David Johnson, whose $10.2 million base salary for 2020 is fully guaranteed. Specifically, Keim said Johnson won't be released this offseason, adding that the 28-year-old should still have a key role on offense even if he isn't the starter. There aren't many teams in the modern NFL giving large contracts to multiple running backs, but the Cardinals arguably could make it work while they have QB Kyler Murray on a rookie deal. Drake certainly made his case for a handsome…read more

  • Late-season TD surge continues

    Drake ran for 60 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and caught three of four targets for 23 receiving yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old back concluded his late-season scoring surge during Arizona's 2019 finale, accounting for his seventh TD since Week 15 while also reaching 5.0 yards per carry for a third straight game. Drake relegated former Cardinals workhorse David Johnson to a bit role over the latter half of 2019, amassing 18.9 offensive touches per game to Johnson's stunningly low total of 3.3 touches per appearance between Weeks 9 and 17. While Johnson's contract extends through 2021, it seems extremely…read more

  • Romps again in win

    Drake carried the ball 24 times for 166 yards and two touchdowns and caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The mid-season trade that brought Drake over from Miami in exchange for a conditional Day Three pick in the 2020 draft is looking like a steal for Arizona. The fourth-year running back has erupted for 303 rushing yards and six TDs over the last two games, grabbing a firm hold of the starting job over David Johnson in the process. Drake will look to finish the season on a high note, and increase his asking price in free agency, in Week 17's road clash with the Rams.

  • Scores four times in win

    Drake rushed 22 times for 137 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Browns. He also caught his only target for nine yards.

    Analysis: Drake dominated while earning his first win of this season. The tailback first took an option pitch from Kyler Murray five yards into the end zone, then converted one-yard plunges on his next two scores. His fourth TD came on an untouched 17-yard scamper, capping the best performance of his four-year career. With Drake serving as Arizona's bell cow, David Johnson was limited to just three carries on the day, further solidifying the pecking order in the Cardinals' backfield ahead of a Week 16…read more

  • Again spearheads Arizona backfield

    Drake ran for 37 yards on 11 carries and hauled in all three of his targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: The mid-season acquisition Drake continues to work ahead of long-time Cardinals workhorse David Johnson, as Drake's 11 rush attempts in Week 14 outpaced Johnson and Chase Edmonds' combined total by seven. Johnson did have the enormous boost of a 24-yard receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter, but Drake has still garnered a higher number of carries in each of the Cardinals' past four games following a breakout Week 9 performance in which Drake racked up 162 yards from scrimmage as Johnson sat…read more

  • Ineffective against Rams

    Drake carried the ball 13 times for 31 yards and caught two of five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: The Cards were down 20-0 by halftime, forcing them to largely abandon the running game, but Drake wasn't able to make much impact as a receiver either. David Johnson worked his way back into the game plan in this one, getting six touches to Drake's 15, but he wasn't any more effective. Drake will face another tough test in Week 14 against a stingy Steelers defense that just held Nick Chubb under 80 scrimmage yards.

  • Dominates Cards backfield Sunday

    Drake carried the ball 16 times for 67 yards while catching six of seven targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-26 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, David Johnson failed to touch the ball at all in this game, as Christian Kirk got the only other non-Kyler Murray carry for the Cards on a jet sweep. Drake has quickly established himself as Arizona's No. 1 RB since being liberated from Miami, totaling 283 scrimmage yards and a TD in three games for his new team, but it remains to be seen if he'll continue to dominate backfield touches coming out of the Cards' Week 12 bye.

  • Slated to start Sunday

    Drake is expected to be the Cardinals' starting running back for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: In his first game working with David Johnson last Sunday in Tampa Bay, Drake worked ahead of the long-time Cardinal and even got all the RB reps in the fourth quarter, finishing with 16 touches and 41 yards from scrimmage on a 64 percent offensive snap share. Meanwhile, Johnson had six, 10 and 43, respectively. On Friday, coach Kliff Kingsbury wouldn't commit to a starter between the pair and noted the backfield will be "by committee" Week 11, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, with packages…read more

  • Expected to share snaps

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said he will utilize a backfield committee in Sunday's game against the 49ers that includes packages for both Drake and David Johnson, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Drake led the backfield in the Week 10 loss to Tampa Bay, playing 64 percent of the snaps and garnering 16 touches while Johnson was limited to 43 percent and six touches, fumbling on one of them. A report earlier Friday suggested Drake was getting most of the work with the first-team offense during practice, but Kingsbury downplayed any notion of Johnson having his role further reduced. Drake steamrolled this same Niners team for 162 scrimmage yards just a couple weeks ago, albeit with both…read more

  • Works ahead of David Johnson

    Drake worked with the first-team offense -- ahead of David Johnson -- during Friday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Drake had the advantage in snaps, touches and production during last week's 30-27 loss to Tampa Bay, though neither running back found much open real estate against one of the toughest run defenses in the league. Johnson did himself no favors with a lost fumble in the fourth quarter, but Drake was getting most of the work even before that happened. The former Dolphin is the favorite to lead Arizona's backfield this coming Sunday in San Francisco, albeit with Johnson likely mixing in to some…read more

  • Solo runner down stretch Sunday

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury admitted he went with Drake as the Cardinals' only running back during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-27 loss in Tampa Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. "The last couple weeks, practice, games [he] has brought a little pop to the run game, the pass game, and we felt like he was the guy to try and close the game out with," Kingsbury said Monday.

    Analysis: Drake outsnapped (64 to 43 percent of the offensive plays) and got more touches (16 to six) than Johnson, who didn't take the field following his fumble late in the third quarter. As mentioned by Kingsbury, the decision seems to be a temporary thing, but he also wouldn't delve into how the RB reps will break down moving forward. The Cardinals were without Chase Edmonds on Sunday, and if/when he gets past his hamstring injury, Kingsbury may have a quandary on his hands as it pertains to his…read more

  • Heavy passing game usage in loss

    Drake rushed 10 times for 35 yards and brought in six of seven targets for six yards in the Cardinals' 30-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Drake came nowhere near the production he'd managed in an impressive Week 9 debut against the 49ers, as he ran head-long into an even tougher run defense in that of the Buccaneers. His usage through the air was encouraging, but as his receiving yardage total indicates, the targets he saw were exclusively of the short-area variety. Drake did double up backfield mate David Johnson in carries, but it will be difficult to predict how the division of labor will be handled in a Week 11 matchup versus…read more
