James Conner News
In a valiant effort during the Cardinals' 21-20 loss to the Seahawks, Arizona running back James Conner stood out with an impressive performance. Finishing with 27 carries for 150 yards and a touchdown, Conner added another dimension to his game with four receptions for 54 yards. Despite Conner's heroic late touchdown, the Seahawks managed to respond, denying the Cardinals the victory. This marked Conner's first 200-total-yard game of the season, capping off a remarkable quarter of the schedule where he amassed 514 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Conner's outstanding efforts contributed to the first 1,000-yard season of his career in just 13 games. As he enters the final year of his contract, Conner remains a strong contender for the starting role pending the outcome of Arizona's offseason moves.
Arizona running back James Conner's Week 17 heroics, amassing 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns, highlight his dominant form heading into Week 18. With a four-game scoring streak, Conner needs just 110 yards to reach 1,000 for the season. Averaging 21.6 touches and 109.8 total yards since Week 13, he's a prime asset. Ranking 12th in explosive run rate, seventh in missed tackles forced per attempt, and eighth in yards after contact, Conner has been electric. Seattle's porous run defense, allowing the most yards and fifth-highest explosive run rate since Week 12, sets the stage for Conner's success in Week 18. Fantasy managers should confidently start him as he aims to continue his impressive run and end the season strong.
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner delivered a stellar performance in the Cardinals' Week 17 victory over the Eagles, amassing 128 rushing yards and a touchdown on 26 carries. He also showcased his versatility, catching a short pass from quarterback Kyler Murray for another touchdown. Conner's late-game heroics included a two-yard rushing score that secured the upset win with less than a minute remaining. The bruising tailback has been on a scoring streak lately, finding the end zone in the last four games. With an impressive 4.9 yards per carry average against the Eagles, Conner remains a vital asset for fantasy managers heading into the final game of the regular season against the Seahawks in Week 18.
