James Conner Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had 26 yards off eight carries during the win over the Vikings on Sunday. The 26-year-old hasn't done much to impress this year, especially since he remains stuck in a committee system with Chase Edmonds and Kyler Murray, who serves as a back in his own right. Although Conner is worth a stash in case brighter days lie ahead, he isn't deserving of a start in nearly any fantasy format at the moment, which includes the Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. In Week 1, Conner saw 16 carries, no targets and no touchdowns. He saw multiple carries in the red zone but could not capitalize. Nevertheless, it seems like Conner will see the red-zone carries, while Edmonds will see the red-zone targets. If Week 1 was any indication, Conner and Edmonds both saw 16 touches. If they split the workload at the same rate and Conner is able to capitalize in the red zone, he'd pay off as a flex play. DFS contestants should consider Conner if they are willing to take the risk on production in Week 2.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had 16 carries for 53 yards in the win against the Tennessee Titans. Conner saw more carries than Chase Edmonds, but he saw no targets in the passing game, which was expected. Although Conner saw 16 carries, he couldn't make much out of it. He saw multiple red-zone touches, but he could not convert those carries into touchdowns. Conner will face the Minnesota Vikings next, who gave up 150 total yards and a touchdown on 33 touches to Joe Mixon in Week 1. Moving forward, Conner should be considered a fringe flex play until he sees a higher volume of carries in the red zone.
