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.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Minnesota Vikings

James Conner missed the last couple of weeks with injury and he’s questionable heading into this weekend’s tilt against Minnesota. Until his injury, he wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire, though he is averaging 13.6 touches per game and has 19 targets in five outings. The touchdowns have been a letdown, however, as Conner hasn’t scored since his lone touchdown in Week 1.

This week, if Conner returns to action, he’ll do so against a Vikings defense that ranks 17th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Take a measured approach to Conner this week, and make sure you have a backup plan in case he’s a late scratch. We have him ranked conservatively as a low-end RB2 option, but be sure to watch the inactives list carefully for his injury status.

Update: Conner is out, so be sure to get him out of your lineups. Eno Benjamin becomes a sneaky RB2 option.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

James Conner had 15 carries and three receptions for a total of 77 yards from scrimmage last week against the Panthers. The Cardinals are letting him touch the ball an average of 14.5 times per game so far this season, giving him a high floor every week in fantasy. While he hasn’t found the end zone since Week 1, he’s still a threat to score in any week given his usage and his role last season, so expect the touchdowns to come.

This week, Conner faces an Eagles defense that ranks fourth in aFPA to opposing running backs. Conner is always a threat for a touchdown, so he’s worth considering in all fantasy leagues. However, in the tough matchup, temper expectations for Conner. We have him ranked as a low-end RB2 option, instead of in his usual fringe-RB1 range.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Carolina Panthers

James Conner came back from a Week 2 injury last week to play against the Rams, but the entire Arizona offense struggled. Conner ended up with just 39 yards on 13 carries to go with 18 yards on three receptions. Conner needs to find the end zone to be super productive and the Cardinals have just sputtered offensively throughout the first part of the season.

This week, Conner faces a Panthers defense that have allowed touchdowns to the running back position in two out of three games so far, but has been better than expected considering their 1-2 record. Opponents are averaging just 19.7 points per game against this team, which is pretty low with how much the offense has struggled. Still, here’s to thinking talent wins out in this one and Conner has a better shot at the end zone. Start him as a RB2 this week.

ARI RB James Conner - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Las Vegas Raiders

James Conner was held to just 2.6 yards per carry against the Chiefs last week, rushing for 26 yards on 10 carries in a lopsided loss. He did find the end zone, and was active in the passing game, catching five balls for 29 yards. Conner’s role in the offense appears to be secure and the Cardinals love to use him especially around the goal line. In a more competitive game, he’d likely get more work.

This week, Conner faces a Raiders defense that held Austin Ekeler to 2.6 yards per carry last week, so it may not be super easy for him to thrive. That being said, Conner’s touchdown upside and workload role in the offense should still land him in fringe RB1 territory. Start him.
