SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #27   
Overall: #51


The Cardinals got their No. 1 back by taking Wells with their first pick in the '09 draft. Wells is a powerful back that does a great job of running between the tackles. He also is big enough to move the pile. Wells has plus speed despite his size and can make tacklers miss with his good moves in the open field. And Wells is an above-average blocker for a rookie, which will keep him on the field in the Cardinals pass-heavy offense. If Wells has a knock, he had a hard time staying healthy during his college career. Either way, he'll be the starter in Arizona from day one this season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Cardinals don't run a ton, but that could change with Wells on board. He has the most potential of any rookie back, playing in a great offense and for a good team. Wells has double-digit touchdown potential and could reach 1,600 total yards. He is a high-end No. 2 back or maybe even low-end No. 1 by the time the season is over.
Bob McManaman, of the Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he is not ready to name RB Beanie Wells as the starting running back at this time. Whisenhunt said Wells will continue to get more carries but is not ready to give Wells the majority of carries.
Fantasy Impact: Wells is the back to own in Arizona right now. The Cardinals are a pass-first team, but we like Wells' potential for a strong finish.

The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells rushed for 67 yards and his first career touchdown on 14 carries in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact: Wells is going to start sooner or later. He is clearly a better overall back than Tim Hightower.

Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals RB Chris Wells (hip) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 23. He is listed as questionable for Week 7.
Fantasy Impact: We expect Wells to play but he isn't a great play against a good Giants rush defense.

Arizona Cardinals RB Chris Wells (hip) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 21.
Fantasy Impact: This isn't a serious issue, so we expect Wells to be able to play.

Nancy Gay, of NFL FanHouse, reports Arizona Cardinals RB Chris Wells had just two carries for minus-2 yards rushing in Week 3.
Fantasy Impact: Wells had fumbling issues the first two games, but Tim Hightower lost a key fumble during the Week 3 game. Wells could be getting more work in the coming weeks.

Bob Baum, of the Associated Press, reports Arizona Cardinals RB Chris Wells has been carrying a football with his name on it from the locker room to meetings this week. Teammates try to sneak up and strip the ball from him. If he drops it, he pays a $200 fine to charity. Wells fumbled the ball twice Week 2, but he does not expect it to become an issue.
Fantasy Impact: If Wells would stop fumbling, he would likely start getting more work in the Cardinals offense. He has flashed some good things this season.

Bob McManaman, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt would not rule out the possibility of RB Chris Wells starting at the beginning of the season.
Fantasy Impact: Wells is obviously looking strong in practice of late. He could still start and get most of the carries in the Cardinals offense.

The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals rookie RB Chris Wells (ankle) suited up for the team's preseason game against the San Diego Chargers Saturday, Aug. 22, but did not play. He has missed both of the team's preseason games due to a sprained right ankle.

Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he is not worried about RB Chris Wells' (ankle) inactivity because there is still three preseason games left before the start of the season.
