Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) out for season

Sep 22, 2025

Coach Jonathan Gannon confirms that James Conner will have surgery and is done for the season.

Related players: Trey Benson, Emari Demercado, Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

We reported earlier today Conner would need surgery and be out indefinitely, but this outcome shouldn't come as any surprise given the way Conner left the field in Week 3. Benson will take over as the lead back and there was another report today Demcercado will slide in as the team's RB2. The Cards could make a move for another back at some point, but for now, look for Benson to be given the first chance to be the new RB1.

Carson Wentz to start for Vikings in Dublin in Week 4

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed Carson Wentz will get another start for the team next week when the team meets the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.

Fantasy Impact:

This was expected after Wentz had a solid day against the Bengals, going 14/20 for 173 yards and two touchdowns in Minnesota’s 48-10 victory. J.J. McCarthy is out 2-4 weeks with a right high ankle sprain. With Wentz able to hold the fort in Week 3, he’ll lead the charge as the Vikings make their trek through Europe over the next two weeks, facing the Steelers in Dublin in Week 4 and then meeting the Browns in London in Week 5 before their Week 6 bye.

The Cowboys ruled out WR CeeDee Lamb with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Lamb had left the game earlier in the day and come back before leaving again. Lamb was initially hurt on a rushing attempt early in the game and had his leg rolled up on. Lamb did not record a catch.

James Conner carted off field with ankle injury

Cardinals RB James Conner was carted off the field following an ankle injury during the third quarter against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

The fact that both teams came out onto the field in support of Conner as well as the broadcast not initially showing a replay (RedZone did later show a replay) may tell you all you need to know about the situation. Conner had nine rushes for 22 yards and 15 yards on three catches. Look for 2024 third-round pick Trey Benson, who was already getting more work, to step into the lead role.
