NFL: Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers — Rookie David Johnson will get his first start this week in place of the injured Chris Johnson. The third-round draft selection is averaging four yards per carry this season to go along with four touchdowns on the ground in limited snaps. This will be his first extensive look at running back against a Rams team that allowed 86 yards to Jeremy Hill, his most of the season. Johnson could have a good NFL debut.

Nick Foles St. Louis Rams — The St. Louis Rams have struggled on offense this season and it all starts with the quarterback. To say the least, the Nick Foles experiment has failed. Foles has simply not gotten the job done which forced the Rams to bench him and turn to Case Keenum who is now out with a concussion. The Cardinals' secondary has the second most interceptions this season which could be bad news for Foles.
