Fantasy fallout: Which replacement RBs have staying power?

This was a big week for backup running backs, with fantasy ownership of Chase Edmonds, Ty Johnson and Latavius Murray all vaulting by at least 24% in ESPN leagues.

Chase Edmonds, Arizona Cardinals: This one is a bit of a sore subject to David Johnson’s fantasy owners -- and to ESPN fantasy analyst Matthew Berry, who went on an epic rant -- because Johnson was active last week and actually took the first handoff before Edmonds went off for 126 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries.
