ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Cardinals RB David Johnson (ankle, back) won't play in Week 8. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Not only is Johnson ruled out of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, but Schefter is also reporting that he will sit on Thursday night against the 49ers. With Johnson out, Chase Edmonds will be the clear-cut RB1 for the Cardinals and should be in all fantasy lineups despite his next two matchups, which are not favorable ones. He will get volume and has been efficient with his touches thus far in 2019, so much so that he's reportedly earned himself an expanded role even when Johnson is fully healthy.
