Corey Clement, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Yahoo! Ownership: 1%

Another beneficiary of injury, Corey Clement has gone from being an undrafted rookie free agent to having a prominent role in the Philadelphia Eagles' backfield in just four weeks.

When Darren Sproles left with multiple injuries in Week 3, Clement saw his first touches of the season, rushing 6 times for 22 yards and a touchdown. He was on the field for 19 snaps last week, rushing 10 times for 30 yards as part of a three-headed rotation along with Wendell Smallwood and LeGarrette Blount.

This week, Smallwood has been unable to practice, casting his availability for Sunday into doubt. If he is inactive, Clement will be line for the most significant workload of his short NFL career.

In the last two weeks -- both wins -- the Eagles have gone run-heavy, rushing 81 times compared to 62 passes. The Eagles are 6.5-point home favorites over the Arizona Cardinals, potentially lining up another busy workload for the backfield.
