Summary

Running Back Rank: #62All Players: #235

Wells finally had that breakout season. He was a force, running as well as any back in the game early in the season. Wells had touchdowns the first four games of his season. He had 90-plus rushing yards three of those games. Wells had a three-touchdown performance and another game with 200-plus rushing yards. He enjoyed his first 1,000-yard season of his career. He also had double-digit scores for the first time. Wells did suffer a knee injury during the season and wasn't quite the same back down the stretch. He had fewer than 55-rushing yards each of his last three games and needed clean-up surgery on the knee after the season. Wells has a bit of history with knee injuries, which is a concern, but should be healthy for the start of the season. He will be the lead back in the Cardinals' offense. Wells runs well for his size and can make tacklers miss with his good moves in the open field. He lacks a little breakaway speed but is capable of the big play. Wells isn't much of a factor in the passing game, though, having 27 receptions in three seasons.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Wells might be overvalued a bit after last season. You have to like his rushing yardage and touchdown potential but he rarely is a factor in the passing game and is an injury risk. Consider him a top No. 2 back for fantasy teams. But don't overpay for him. He should get around 1,200 total yards and double-digit touchdowns.

Jan 28 10:33 am

Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells is excited for the 2013 season with the recent hiring of Bruce Arians as head coach. Wells expects a better relationship with his new head coach; he often did not see eye-to-eye with former head coach Ken Whisenhunt. 'We definitely had our fair share of disagreements this season, and I've never been in a situation like that before,' Wells said.
Fantasy Impact: A new coach should be a positive for Wells but nothing is certain with him going forward.

Dec 26 10:33 pm

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Wednesday, Dec. 26, that he wasn't sure if RB Beanie Wells would start in Week 17. Whisenhunt said who will start will be a 'package-oriented' result.
