Week 15 vs. San Francisco 49ers
James Conner had a great game against the Steelers before the bye last week, gaining 105 yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns on 25 carries. It was a throwback game for Connor, who had been held under 100 yards rushing in all but one previous game this season. The team has shown a willingness to lean on the veteran, so fantasy managers should note when the Cardinals are playing a vulnerable opponent.
This might not be that opponent. The 49ers rank sixth in aFPA to opposing running backs, but more importantly, the San Francisco offense has been a behemoth. This could be a lopsided victory for San Francisco, and if so, it could limit the rushing attempts available for Conner. Tread carefully with Conner, but he should still be considered a quality RB2 option due to his workload potential.
