Arizona’s divorce with running back Edgerrin James is coming no later than after this season. But James would like it done even sooner.

Edgerrin James has zero carries against the Rams.

In a move that was rumored this week, Tim Hightower got the start ahead of Edgerrin James. The rookie is a great fantasy sleeper against the Rams. Ray Rice started ahead of Willis McGahee, but these two backs are expected to share carries against the Browns. Le’Ron McClain will also see some work out of the backfield.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt did not dismiss the idea that, while rookie running back Tim Hightower’s playing time will increase, veteran Edgerrin James‘ will decrease.

It’s a Miami reunion Sunday when Arizona’s Edgerrin James squares off with Washington’s Clinton Portis. Both played for the Hurricanes, both won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, both have been selected to the Pro Bowl, both got the lucrative contracts they wanted, and both have eye-popping numbers.
