James Conner

The Cardinals have placed RB James Conner (knee) on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Conner was injured in the team's Week 17 loss and will now miss the final game of the regular season. Michael Carter was added to the active roster and will likely lead the backfield against San Francisco.

James Conner (knee) ran for four yards on four carries and caught two of three targets for four yards before exiting with a knee injury in the Cardinals' 13-9 loss to the Rams on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Conner was questionable coming into the game but was ultimately active for the contest. The knee injury came pretty early on, and Michael Carter led the way afterward with Trey Benson having been ruled out earlier in the day. With the Cardinals eliminated from the playoffs, his status for Week 18 is in jeopardy. He no doubt wants to say he played in every game in a season, which is something he has yet to do in his career, but his health takes priority.

James Conner (knee) is officially active for Week 17 for the Arizona Cardinals against the Los Angeles Rams according to Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Impact

Conner is good to go after clearing through pregame testing on his knee without any issues and should receive all of the backfield touches he can handle against the Rams Saturday night.

James Conner is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Rams despite a knee injury. Conner was a limited participant in practice throughout the week and is officially listed as questionable.

Fantasy Impact

Conner's expected return is good news for the Cardinals and fantasy managers. He should be a solid RB2 option in Week 17.

James Conner is expected to play on Saturday against the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Despite leaving last week's game early, Conner was limited at practice all week and isn't expected to miss any time. According to Rapoport, Conner is slated to play at less than 100 percent so he holds some risk but he should remain in his lead role.
