Week 3 might be a case of an unstoppable force versus an immovable object. In 2023, the Detroit Lions were the best defense against fantasy football running backs. They surrendered the fewest rushing yards and didn't let a running back catch a touchdown.
They're continuing their dominance into the new season, allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards to the position (106) and just four catches for nine yards.
Conner is still a locked-in starter for fantasy football lineups on Sunday, but he may be less efficient than we've witnessed two weeks into the young season.
