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 carry heavy load yet again
OC: "James is the bell cow in that room."
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 3, 11:20 pm
|  | “(James Conner) is the bell cow in that room. That is not a surprise to anyone.”
Arizona Cardinals OC Drew Petzing says Conner is the clear-cut top RB, but rookie Trey Benson needs to be ready at any moment. (PHNX Cardinals - Bo Brack)
FFToday's Take: In case there was any doubt about where the Arizona backfield stands entering the regular season, Petzing cleared it up. Benson figures to get worked in occasionally, but it sounds as if the Cardinals expect Conner to pick up where he left off at the end of last season when he was the highest-scoring non-quarterback in fantasy from Weeks 13-18. Benson's time will most likely come in 2025 with Conner due to be a free agent at the end of this season. For now, however, Benson figures to be little more than a high-upside handcuff.
