James Conner Stays As Ole Reliable For Fantasy

James Conner is coming off a career year in terms of yards and yards per carry. He had 1,040 yards on 208 attempts, which is an average of 5 yards per carry. Conner reached those numbers in just 13 games last season and added 7 touchdowns to go with his 1,000 yards. Since joining the Cardinals, Conner has been a very productive fantasy asset due to his workload and his goalline touches.


For fantasy this season, Conner could be a value pick at running back, as the Cardinals' offense should be much better with Kyler Murray back. Murray being back should lead to more scoring opportunities for Conner and the Cardinals, which can only mean good things for Conner’s fantasy output. Back in 2021, Conner had 15 touchdowns for the Cardinals, and with his current role, he could potentially match that if the Cardinals offense takes a step up.


People are worried about Trey Benson taking away touches, but they shouldn’t be, as it appears the Cardinals will use multiple backs behind Conner for the 2024 season. The one knock on Conner is the lack of work in the passing game, but the goalline work and overall workload make up for it. Conner is the perfect RB2 for fantasy teams this year and has the upside to finish in the top 15.


Our consensus projections for Conner in the 2024 season are 189 carries for 776 yards and 6 touchdowns. In the receiving game, his consensus projection is 31 receptions for 199 yards and 2 touchdowns.
