Add a league for Mock Drafting, Draft War Room & In-season sync
Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said RB James Conner is "getting himself ready to carry the load for us."
The Cardinals return 2024 third-round RB Trey Benson but made no significant additions to the backfield this offseason. It sounds like the team plans to feature Conner again.
Before missing most of the final two weeks of last season, Conner averaged 15.5 carries and 3.5 targets per game. He ranked 15th among RBs in expected PPR points per game and 11th in actual points per game over that stretch.
Conner remained plenty efficient, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and 8.8 yards per catch. Among 47 RBs with 90+ carries, he ranked:
Conner is one of just three RBs to earn a 85+ PFF rush grade in both of last two seasons, joining Derrick Henry and Ken Walker.
As usual, Conner is being undervalued in fantasy drafts. His best ball ADP is sitting in late Round 6 as the 23rd RB off the board. Conner is RB19 in our best ball rankings.
Benson remains a strong handcuff, but it doesn't sound like we should expect standalone fantasy value this year. He's an OK value at his 12th-round price tag.
