Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells (knee) was able to participate fully in practice on Wednesday and seems likely to be ready for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Wells ran for just 14 yards on seven carries in week 1 against the Seahawks, while Ryan Williams also struggled by gaining just nine yards on eight carries.

Fantasy Analysis: Interestingly, the Patriots held the Titans to just 20 yards rushing in week 1, but that could be because Chris Johnson is still not doing very good. If Wells is able to go fully on Sunday, neither him or Williams seem like a great play together. However, if Wells was limited or out, Williams could be an interesting sleeper play as the lone back for Arizona while being spelled at times by LaRod Stephens-Howling.
