ARI RB James Conner - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

James Conner had only 63 yards on 16 carries last week against the Broncos, but he caught three balls for 28 additional yards and he scored his seventh touchdown of the season. After a slow start to the year, Conner now has at least one touchdown in five straight games. This is what made him so good last year and is the reason fantasy managers drafted him for 2022.

Conner won’t have it easy against Tampa Bay this week. The Buccaneers rank 10th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Although, they may still be without run-stuffer Vita Vea, so that should help things. Conner’s workload and potential for a touchdown make him a solid RB1 option this week.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Denver Broncos

James Conner was one of the few bright spots for Arizona on a miserable Monday night against the Patriots that resulted in a loss and, most importantly, a devastating knee injury to Kyler Murray. Conner finished with 15 carries and six receptions for 114 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Conner has touchdowns in four straight games and seems to be heating up as the season winds down.

This week, Conner faces a Broncos defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect a busy day for Conner, especially with Kyler Murray out for the remainder of the season. His workload should lead to quality RB2 numbers, especially if he can find the end zone again. Start him.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. New England Patriots

James Conner had a nice game against the Chargers before the bye last week, rushing for 120 yards on 25 carries. He also added 20 yards and a touchdown on three receptions. Conner has 16 targets over his last four games, and it’s good to see him staying active in the passing game.

This week, Conner has a tough matchup against New England. The Patriots rank second in aFPA to opposing running backs. Conner’s workload should make him a viable fantasy back this week, but temper expectations with the difficult opponent. We have him ranked as a low-end RB1 option with a good chance at finding the end zone. Start him.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

James Conner had only 42 yards on 14 carries in a blowout loss to the 49ers, but he found the end zone for the third time in two games and was targeted five times. He has 13 targets in the three games since returning from injury, raising his floor in PPR formats.

This week, Conner has a great matchup against the Chargers, who rank 30th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect a full workload for Conner and a decent shot at the end zone once again. We have him ranked as a solid RB2 option heading into Thanksgiving weekend, and he’s worth starting in all league formats.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. San Francisco 49ers

James Conner found the end zone twice last week, his first touchdowns since Week 1. He finished the day with 69 yards on 21 carries, adding another three receptions and 17 yards. Conner’s usage is encouraging, but the efficiency is not. He averaged just 3.3 yards per carry, and is averaging 3.8 on the season.

This week, Conner faces a tough 49ers defense that ranks second in aFPA to opposing running backs. Conner should be viewed as a low-end RB2 given his touchdown upside, but his lack of big-play ability limits his fantasy upside.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Los Angeles Rams

James Conner returned to action last week against the Seahawks, but he was limited to just seven carries and 45 yards on the ground. He added five receptions for 19 receiving yards, but it was still a down day for the veteran out of Pittsburgh.

Conner will try to get back on track this week against a pretty good Rams defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs. In a tough matchup, with Eno Benjamin stealing a few touches, it’s hard to recommend Conner as anything more than a flex option this week. We have him ranked just outside RB2 territory this week.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Seattle Seahawks

James Conner was a late-ish scratch last week and misses his third straight contest with a rib injury. He practiced in a limited capacity last week, so there’s a chance he suits up against Seattle in Week 9. The Seahawks rank 23rd in aFPA to opposing running backs, so if Conner starts, he has RB2 potential in a good matchup. Just make sure you have a good backup option in case he sits again.
