Cardinals Comfortable Using James Conner As Bell-Cow Back
1 year agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Thursday that he's "100 percent" comfortable with running back James Conner being the bell cow of the team's running game this year. There is little in the way of competition behind Conner in Arizona, but the problem for fantasy purposes is that the 28-year-old is unlikely to stay healthy for a full season, and the Arizona offense could struggle to move the ball consistently with the potential that starting quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) could miss around half the season. Conner has a nose for the end zone -- he's scored 22 touchdowns on the ground and another four as a receiver the last two years -- and should see plenty of volume, but his upside will be limited in 2023 as more of a low-end RB2/high-end RB3.
