Labeled a game-time decision despite not practicing all week, Conner could see a reduced workload in a difficult matchup. Indianapolis has allowed the second-fewest rushing touchdowns this season.

Chase Edmonds who has worked through his own injuries recently will split work with Conner and both enter as more RB2/3 than RB1 given the matchup.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner is listed as questionable for their Week 16 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Conner is dealing with a heel issue and says that his ankle feels fine. He expects to play on Saturday but noted that the decision will come down to pain management. Conner has been excellent in 2021 and is the RB5 on the season, thanks in large part due to his penchant for finding the end zone. He may be limited if active but still offers RB2 appeal due to his touchdown upside. The Cardinals veteran running back is currently our 20th ranked running back for Week 16.

The Cardinals didn’t hold a practice on Tuesday, but they did issue an injury report because they will be hosting the Colts on Christmas.

That report says that running back James Conner would not have practiced because of a heel injury.

It’s a new ailment for Conner, who had eight carries for 39 yards and two catches for 31 yards in Arizona’s Week 15 loss to the Lions.

The activation will generate a committee in the backfield for Arizona. James Conner is dealing with an ankle injury of his own and should allow Edmonds a workload that is serviceable for fantasy against a exploitable Detroit run defense.

Edmonds could see RB1 usage of Conner ends up with an inactive tag. Monitor the status of the starting running back before confidently inserting Edmonds into your lineup.

Conner has emerged as a touchdown machine for the Arizona Cardinals and will remain the lead back when Chase Edmonds returns from injury. Conner will need to practice in some fashion on Friday to be active for Sunday's contest against the Lions, but the team remains optimistic. If he cannot go, Chase Edmonds, who has been practicing but has no participation level listed due to still being on injured reserve, will be back in a lead back role with Eno Benjamin backing him up. Conner is currently our 21st ranked running back for Week 15.

Urban's tweet added that Kingsbury said Conner probably has played too many snaps in Edmonds' absence but that Conner has held up to this point. Hopefully for the Cards and for fantasy owners, Conner will be OK for his Week 15 matchup. The good news is the team plays an early Sunday game at Detroit so owners will know Conner's status in advance if he's a game-time call. The team could be close to activating Edmonds as well, as reports said he was close to going in Week 14 against the Rams.

The Cardinals did NOT activate RB Chase Edmonds before tonight's game.

Three of the last four weeks Conner has logged 20 or more carries, and in that span he's recorded six touchdowns, including two receiving TDs He has 17 targets over the last four games as well. Benjamin will be the backup to Conner and has averaged about six touches over the last four games, that includes just three touches in Week 13. As the tweet said, this is shaping up to the James Conner Show vs. the Rams.

The status will hold Edmonds out until Week 14 following three games and one bye week. Eno Benjamin and James Conner will handle the backfield for the Arizona Cardinals in the meantime.

James Conner should see a bump in work but Eno Benjamin figures to be the biggest beneficiary of this loss. He recently posted 39 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in a win over San Francisco.
