In many ways, Conner is reminiscent of the old Leroy Hoard quote, "if you need one yard, I'll get you three, and if you need five yards, I'll get you three." The 233-pound back is a bruiser that does his best work in short-yardage and goal-line situations -- that includes 26 touchdowns in two seasons with the Cardinals. He's not particularly explosive, however, and durability is an annual concern as he has never missed fewer than two games in six NFL campaigns.
On the plus side, Conner is underrated as a pass catcher, averaging 41.4 receptions over the last five years. That should be appealing to the risk-averse McCoy, whose primary job is to avoid killer mistakes. Despite his issues staying healthy, Arizona has invested little in depth at the position, which means Conner is likely staring down a heavy workload for as long as he can handle it. At this stage it'd be hard to advocate you should even consider selecting any of his backups, which include names like Keaontay Ingram, Corey Clement, and Ty'Son Williams.
With five-year averages of 1,066 combined yards and 10.4 touchdowns, Conner projects as a possible top-20 fantasy back, though there are sure to be weeks where you'll need to cover for his absence.

 Marquise Brown, Emari Demercado expected to play
Both listed as Questionable
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 26, 7:05 am
|  | Cardinals’ WR Marquise Brown, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a heel injury, is expected to play vs. the Rams, per source.
Cardinals’ RB Emari Demercado, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a toe injury, also is expected to play. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Brown missed two practices this week which is cause for concern, however it sounds like he's going to play. The Cardinals No.1 receiver has been a disappointment this season making him a Flex option only in Week 12.
Demercado missed last week's game which allowed Tony Jones to operate as the backup running back behind James Conner. Demercado's availability shouldn't affect Conner's value.
| Cardinals activate James Conner off IR
Will play in Week 10
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Nov 11, 2:52 pm
| | Cardinals are activating RB James Conner from IR for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: As expected, Conner will play in Week 11 against the Falcons. His role is unclear but Arizona has been willing to give their lead running back the bulk of the work and that's the expectation here. Emari Demercado is out with a toe injury.
| James Conner expected to miss multiple weeks
Knee injury in Week 5
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Oct 10, 10:47 am
| | Cardinals’ RB James Conner is expected to miss multiple weeks with the knee injury he suffered Sunday vs. the Bengals and he now is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Cardinals pickup up Tony Jones off the Saints practice squad yesterday but are very thin at running back headed into their Week 6 game against the Rams. Emari Demercado is likely to get the start and we could see a few more carries for WR Rondale Moore who has 8 rushing attempts on the season. Corey Clement could be elevated from the practice squad.
