Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner was placed on injured reserve by the team on Tuesday, Sept. 23. There is no timetable for his return.
Huddle Up: Trey Benson is expected to step up in Conner's absence from the lineup. He becomes an RB2 or a flex option in your lineup with high potential to be something more with splash weeks.

Arizona Cardinals OT Kelvin Beachum (knee), RB James Conner (foot), CB Will Johnson (groin) and WR Zay Jones (concussion) did not participate in practice Monday, Sept. 22. OG Evan Brown (ankle), LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (elbow), CB Darren Hall (ankle), OG Will Hernandez (knee) and OT Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) were limited during practice. The Cardinals did not hold a practice Monday, so the injury report is an estimation.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (foot) is scheduled to undergo surgery on the foot injury he suffered in Week 3 and will miss the rest of the season, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Trey Benson will likely receive most of the work at running back with Conner sidelined. He has had some success in limited playing time this season and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Updating previous reports, Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) could miss the rest of the season as he requires ankle surgery. Testing is still ongoing to determine the severity of the injury.
Huddle Up: Trey Benson should be the first in the pecking order. He had 10 carries for 42 yards and three receptions for nine yards in Week 3. If he's available, he's a must-add off of waivers. Emari Demarcado would be his handcuff, but the Cardinals are probably going to need to make a trade or snatch someone off another team's practice squad for depth.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) was carted off the field after suffering an apparent ankle injury during the Week 3 game.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to determine the severity of Conner's injury and how long he will be sidelined. Trey Benson will likely take over as the starter if Conner misses extended time and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner ran 11 times for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers, and he added an 18-yard reception on his lone target.
Huddle Up: It was a disappointing showing for Conner, especially since it came against the Panthers, who were dead-last in rushing defense in 2024. At least Conner had the touchdown. He remains a solid RB2 in all fantasy leagues, and he'll look for the bounce back heading into Week 3 in San Francisco.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner faces the Carolina Panthers in Week 2, and the Panthers allowed 200 rushing yards and 6.3 yards per carry in Week 1.
Huddle Up: Conner appears to be ceding more touches to Trey Benson this season, and while both backs could have success against Carolina, Conner has the safer floor due to his role in the passing game and in short-yardage situations. Consider him a reliable RB2.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner carried 12 times for 39 yards and caught all four of his targets for five yards and a touchdown in Week 1 versus the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Conner rewarded his fantasy managers with a 4-yard TD reception on a shovel pass late in the second quarter, but that was about it for his highlights in a game in which he was expected to do much more. Perhaps even worse for his fantasy managers was Trey Benson leading the team in rushing on eight attempts, although most of his yardage came on a 52-yarder. It is hard to know for sure after one game, but it appears Arizona is serious about treating Conner and Benson as a 1A/1B backfield. Conner will remain the 1A option, but he may be more of a touchdown-dependent RB2 in fantasy moving forward.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner indicated Saturday, Aug. 2, that he and RB Trey Benson will both be seeing a lot of time in the backfield this season. "It's the situation we are in and we can't shy away from it," Conner said. "We've got to talk about it and understand what's expected. We want to be the best rushing team in football. We need that from (Benson). And the rest of the backs. We can't shy away from those conversations."
Huddle Up: Conner just signed an extension, and he is coming off a giant season with a career-high 1,094 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry, and he had his second straight 1,000-yard campaign. He also caught 47 balls for 414 yards with another score, his most catches since 2019 with the Steelers. Fantasy managers will still want to target Conner as a RB2 in all formats, but be ready to scoop up Benson as a handcuff, as well.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) participated in practice Thursday, May 29. He missed the final game of the 2024 season because of a knee injury.
Huddle Up: Conner had plenty of time to recover from his injury this offseason and should be a full participant during training camp. He likely will continue to be the main running back for the Cardinals and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
