Draft note
by John Paulsen
Conner continues to produce at a high level, finishing as the fantasy RB10 in 2024 after an RB15 per-game finish the year prior. Now entering his age-30 season, he’s still getting it done with outstanding efficiency—among 46 qualified backs, he ranked 9th in yards after contact per attempt, 5th in broken tackles per attempt, and earned the 8th-highest rushing grade at PFF. Despite his physical running style, he’s showing no signs of slowing down just yet. That said, the Cardinals may be preparing to ease his workload. Rookie Trey Benson is waiting in the wings, and head coach Jonathan Gannon recently said, “If [Trey] takes the necessary jump from Year 1 to Year 2, I think we have two starting backs.” That could signal a shift toward more of a timeshare in 2025, especially with Conner entering a more injury-prone phase of his career. Conner’s still a strong, tackle-breaking runner in an offense that looked improved with Kyler Murray back under center. He’s best viewed as a mid-range RB2 with some RB1 weeks in his range, though his age and Benson’s presence add some risk to his season-long volume.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 @ Los Angeles Rams
James Conner has been on the injury report all week long, but it's looking like he'll be cleared by kickoff in Los Angeles. With Trey Benson also popping up with his own ailments, Conner has a chance to stretch his 19+ opportunity streak to five games against a tough Rams defense. Even on volume alone, he can be considered a solid RB2 in Week 17.
