Arizona Cardinals
The Cards expect to have David Johnson back on the field this weekend. The running back sat out the last two games and had just one carry the week before because of a back injury. He’s second on the team in rushing (300 yards on 77 carries) and third in receiving with 30 catches for 315 yards.
Kenyan Drake ran for 110 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in his first game as a member of the Cardinals. Arizona traded a sixth round draft pick to Miami for Drake last week.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The strength of this year’s Bucs side lies in their starting receivers. Mike Evans are Chris Godwin rank second and fifth in the league in receiving yards. Godwin started the season off on fire but it’s Evans who’s been carrying the load lately. Evans has caught 23 balls for 378 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games.
