One of the NFL's preeminent bruisers in the backfield, Conner submitted his most productive season in 2023, at least in terms of yardage, eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career and averaging a robust 5.0 yards per carry -- that was much more than the 4.2 YPC he averaged during his first six campaigns.
His exploits as a pass catcher slipped significantly, however, with 27 grabs being the lowest number since his rookie year (when he was coming back from a cancer diagnosis and only had 32 total touches). He found the end zone nine times, which is undoubtedly a solid number on its own, though after scoring a whopping 18 TDs in 2021, Conner's 17 combined scores the past two seasons feel a bit disappointing.
Production on the field is only part of the story with Conner, though, as the veteran's health is always front and center. Across his seven NFL seasons, the Pitt product has never appeared in every game, and he has missed four games in each of the past two years. Conner turned 29 back in May, inching ever closer to the 30-year-old mark that often signals the end for NFL backs, so don't expect his durability to improve in 2024. Despite some concerns, he's a fringe top-20 back.

 James Conner expected to play in Week 17
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Dec 28, 2:06 am
|  | #AZCardinals star RB James Conner, who is questionable with a knee injury, is expected to play against the #Rams, source said.
No hope for the playoffs, extension already signed, and Conner is slated to play at less than 100% for his team. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Conner suffered a knee injury last week against the Panthers as he rumbled for 117 yards and 1 TD. He was limited in practice all week and is listed as Questionable. It's safe to wonder if he'll have his typical workload making him a risky high-end RB against the Rams on Saturday evening. His backup Trey Benson is also listed as Questionable with a knee injury.
| James Conner pushing to play in Week 17
Suffered knee injury in Week 16
By: Doug Orth | Tue Dec 24, 6:20 pm
| | “We’ll see how it goes throughout the week. I know he wants to play.”
Arizona Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon with the latest on RB James Conner.
The good news, James Conner’s knee injury doesn’t sound serious. (PHNX Cardinals - Bo Brack)
FFToday's Take: While the Cardinals have nothing to play for at this point, Conner does. He has never played a full season over his eight-year NFL career but is on the verge of doing so in 2024. Gannon did make an interesting comment during his presser on Tuesday, suggesting Arizona would do what is best for (Conner) first and then what is best for the team. Even more encouragingly, he was listed as limited in Tuesday's estimated practice. Trey Benson (ankle) was limited as well after missing Week 16. If Conner suits up against the Rams on Saturday, he should be in fantasy lineups. If he doesn't, Benson and Michael Carter should be expected to share the load. If neither Conner nor Benson are active, then Carter becomes a high-end flex option.
