Running Back Rank: #19
Overall: #44
Wells endured an extremely disappointing second season. He failed to rush for more than 75 yards in any game and finished with fewer than 400-rushing yards. He averaged a paltry 3.4 yards per carry. He had a sore knee heading into the season, which didn't help matters for Wells. He never got on track, missing three games while being slowed some in others. It also didn't help matters that the Cardinals got terrible quarterback play throughout the season, stalling the entire offense. Wells has potential, though, which he flashed his rookie season (936 total yards and seven touchdowns). At one point, it looked like Wells had some competition for carries this year but that isn't the case because of injuries and trade. Wells will be the No. 1 back for the Cardinals. Wells runs well for his size and can make tacklers miss with his good moves in the open field. He seems to lack some breakaway speed and doesn't always setup his blocks well. He also has failed to knock his injury label, missing time last season.

Wells is a good buy-low candidate but don't overvalue him based on playing time. Wells is worth a look as a low-end No. 2 back, but don't expect a huge season. He has plenty of talent, but seems to lack the burst to be a star running back. He could get 1,100 total yards and a few scores if all goes well this season. |

| Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells (knee) described his arthroscopic right knee surgery Tuesday, Jan. 24, 'as just a scope,' and he said the procedure went as expected. He is at the team's facilities Friday, Jan. 27, to start the rehab process. Wells should be able to participate in offseason work if his rehab goes as planned. |
| Fantasy Impact: He avoided serious surgery and should be just fine for 2012 but his history of knee issues is a concern going forward. |

| Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells (knee) needs just six more rushing yards to hit 1,000 for the season. When he reaches the mark, he'll be the ninth player in franchise history to reach the milestone. He also has 10 rushing touchdowns, and needs just four to tie RB John David Crowe, who has 14 TDs in 1962 for the single-season franchise rushing TD record. |
