James Conner Week 17 Outlook - Cardinals at Rams

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Dec 27th 2024, 9:05am EST

Conner looks like a go this week. He has been limited all week in practice (knee). He is the RB11 in fantasy points per game, ranking 17th in opportunity share, 11th in weighted opportunities, and fourth in red zone touches. He has averaged 18.5 touches and 100 total yards per game. Among 64 qualifying backs, Conner ranks second in missed tackles forced per attempt and tenth in yards after contact per attempt. Conner should have another banner day. Since Week 11, the Rams have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest missed tackle rate, and the 14th-highest rushing success rate.
