Week 1 at Tennessee Titans
James Conner had a great year in Pittsburgh filling in for Le’Veon Bell and has since struggled to stay healthy. Coming over to Arizona, he has a chance to help fill the 239 carries Kenyan Drake got last year, though the expectation is for Chase Edmonds to get the bulk of that work. Still, Edmonds has been a complementary back thus far in his career, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Conner to get significant touches in a 1A and 1B backfield.
Conner could produce if he can get touches in Week 1, as the Titans ranked 28th in aFPA to opposing running backs last year. Fantasy managers should be careful trusting him since we really don’t know how the workload is going to shake out, but if you’re already desperate due to injuries, I like his chances at double-digit two-down work as a low-end flex option, particularly in standard-scoring leagues.
