Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner rushed 20 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins, while adding two receptions for 16 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: The 2.7 yards per carry were Conner's lowest since Week 3, but he was able to score for the first time in four games, so that saved his fantasy stat line. He'll look for better yardage in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner rushed 19 times for a game-high 101 yards in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he added two receptions for a team-best tying 51 yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: Conner is quietly having a strong season, posting three 100-yard games. While he hasn't scored since Week 4 against the Washington Commanders, and he has two fumbles (one lost) in the past two games, he is a legit RB1 in most fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner rushed seven times for just 24 yards in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. He added four receptions for 22 yards on five targets, and he also lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: Conner has been putting up some strong number this season, putting him in the borderline low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 neighborhood, but that certainly wasn't the case in Week 6. He'll look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. Treat him as more of a RB2 for that one.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner registered 86 rushing yards on 19 attempts in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers while adding two receptions for 14 yards on three targets.
Huddle Up: Conner had some tough runs and plenty of yardage after contact in the second half, helping his real-life team and fantasy teams to victory. He has 86 or more rushing yards in three of his past four games, and he has scored three times in five games. Conner can be trusted as a solid RB2 in all fantasy leagues heading into Green Bay in Week 6.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner rushed nine times for 17 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in a 20-13 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 3.
Huddle Up: Although Conner's performance will no doubt disappoint fantasy owners, the good news is that no other back cut into Conner's workload. As long as he remains healthy, he will offer one of the safer floors most weeks.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner is the "bell cow in that (running back) room," according to offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.
Huddle Up: In case some of Trey Benson's biggest supporters needed to hear it from the play-caller himself. It is not a fantasy football season unless Conner is underrated. This year, managers have been hesitant to invest too much into Conner for two reasons: 1) a potential challenge from Benson and 2) the 29-year-old's durability issues. Conner managers should not hesitate to pick up Benson whenever and wherever possible, but it seems as though the rookie's value in 2024 will be mostly as a handcuff. It should also be noted that Conner was the highest-scoring non-quarterback in fantasy from Weeks 13-18, which is about the same time Kyler Murray started to look comfortable with his knee following his recovery from a torn ACL.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner said his career-high 1,040 rushing yards last year are his floor for the 2024 season. "Definitely got a lot of work to put in but that's the floor, not the ceiling."
Huddle Up: Conner topped 1,000 yards on the ground despite missing the final four games with a knee injury. He enters this season as the lead back in Arizona, and while he isn't the most explosive option at the position, he should have the volume to finish as a reliable RB2.
