James Conner Week 6 Outlook - Cardinals at Packers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 7:44am EDT

Though he failed to score a touchdown last week, James Conner recorded his third game with at least 100 total yards and his fourth top-18 weekly fantasy finish. Conner has touched the ball at least 19 times in all four of those games. Quarterback Kyler Murray was the only other Cardinal besides Conner to log a carry in their upset win in San Francisco. The veteran running back should be in for another large workload this week versus the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay profiles as a slightly above-average run defense. However, much like his counterpart in this game, Conner has bankable volume that is a commodity in terms of expected fantasy production. His ceiling may not be as high as some other backs in this range, but Conner's floor keeps him in the RB1 discussion in 12-team leagues.
