Team news: Arizona Cardinals | Page 34

On top of James Conner likely missing this week and likely the next, the Cardinals are also expected to be playing without backup running back Darrel Williams due to a knee injury. Plus, they’ve placed running back Jonathan Ward on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

The Seahawks' defense has allowed the most yards and second-most touchdowns on the ground while allowing the fifth-highest yards per attempt. Eno Benjamin looks to be operating in the workhorse role while Conner nurses up, which makes him an RB2 play in fantasy this weekend.

The Arizona Cardinals held a walk-through Wednesday as the first practice of the game week and released their injury report in preparation for the Seattle Seahawks.

The notable names that sat out of the walk-through included running backs James Conner and Darrel Williams, center Rodney Hudson and kicker Matt Prater.

The Cards are hurting at running back coming into Week 6 and there's a chance Benjamin may be the last man standing. Now is the time to check waiver wires and pick him up.

On the Cardinals RB situation: James Conner is dealing with a rib issue, status will be clearer later in the week.

The tweet went on to say Williams sprained his knee and is out this week and Ward is dealing with a hamstring injury and is on IR, per Tom Pelissero. The team recently signed Clement and Williams to the practice squad. One name not mentioned in terms of injuries is Benjamin, so if Conner is unable to go in Week 6, Benjamin would likely get a huge workload. Against the Eagles, Benjamin had eight carries and scored a TD while adding three catches. He's worth picking up if he's on your wire.

Ravens rule out WR Rashod Bateman after he didn’t practice all week due to a foot injury.

An already thin wide receiver corps, the Baltimore offense may run even more through Mark Andrews in Week 5.

Cordarrelle Patterson will miss at least four games on IR; Caleb Huntley was promoted from the practice squad after his big day against the Browns.

Patterson very curiously came off the sideline for one more carry on the team's last full drive after standing with his helmet off for a full quarter and a half. Maybe the team wanted to test his knee one more time, but, regardless, he has now been placed on IR, and the team will have a look at some young options behind him. At the moment, there is likely more murk in this backfield than we would want for fantasy viability; Huntley could be a between-the-20s banger, Allgeier could be more of an "every down" back, and Williams —the team's punt returner— is likely just a scat back.

Head coach John Harbaugh has said that Devin Duvernay has been cleared to play after missing a practice earlier in the week because of a concussion.

Duvernay has had a bit of a surprise start to the season, ranking second in the league with his three receiving touchdowns. There were earlier reports of teammate Rashod Bateman missing Friday's practice, so there could be some extra usage available for Duvernay on Sunday.

Rashod Bateman —who was not on Thursday's injury report— did not participate in the Ravens' final practice of the week.

If Bateman's sudden appearance on the DNP injury report keeps him out or limited during Week 3's romp with the Patriots, Lamar Jackson will have exactly one reliable pass-catcher, Mark Andrews. Despite the team's lackluster receiver corps, Jackson ranks second in the league with 9.0 yards per attempt, though Bateman's 27.8 yards/reception is assuredly helping the quarterback's numbers.

RB J.K. Dobbins

Reports said Dobbins was close to playing in Week 2 but the Ravens played it safe. He seems to have a great chance to play in Week 3, but he could also be on a pitch count for his first game back. Owners will want to keep an eye on this through the week.

Kingsbury said Hollywood Brown just had a rest day. That was the case for most guys sitting.

James Conner day to day still.

Conner is dealing with an ankle injury. In Week 1, Benjamin was the team's RB2 but in Week 2 Williams and Benjamin essentially split the workload, each getting 8 carries. It was Williams, however, who recorded 59 yards and also scored a TD. Conner looks on track to play in Week 3 but the situation is worth monitoring.
