Cardinals RB James Conner tallied 16 carries for 110 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over New England. He caught all five targets for 28 yards.
Conner scored twice from the one yard-line. Call it luck – but he also looked spry en route to 6.1 yards per carry. Per Next Gen Stats, he generated a season-high +50 rush yards over expectation.
RB Trey Benson mixed in for five carries, but note that he left the game with an ankle injury. RB Emari Demercado was placed on IR on Saturday.
Even if Benson returns for Week 16 (at Carolina), Conner will profile as an upside RB1.
