James Conner Week 8 Outlook - Cardinals at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 9:51pm EDT

Conner is the RB21 in fantasy points per game and has finished as a top-20 fantasy back in five of his seven games. He ranks 11th in snap share, 13th in opportunity share, and tenth in weighted opportunities and red zone touches. Conner has averaged 17.6 touches and 91.9 total yards per game. Among 66 qualifying backs, he leads the group in missed tackles forced per attempt and is 18th in yards after contact per attempt. He should post another stellar stat line this week against a Miami run defense that has allowed the third-most rushing scores (tied), the sixth-highest missed tackle rate, the second-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the fourth-highest yards per carry to gap runs (Conner 69.7% gap).
