Viewed as a durability risk throughout his NFL career, Conner somehow seems to be aging like wine, setting career highs in games played (16), carries (236), receptions (47), rushing yards (1,094), and receiving yards (414) last year. He also tallied nine touchdowns, marking the fourth consecutive year in which he's scored at least eight times. Conner even maintained a legitimate lead back workload in an era of running back by committee -- his 283 touches far exceeded that of backups Trey Benson (69), Emari Demercado (40), and Michael Carter (46), who combined for 155.
On paper, nothing has changed since the final whistle blew in Week 18. Conner is still the starter, and he's still followed on the depth chart by Benson, Demercado, and Carter, though whether all four will make the team again is unclear. If anything, the veteran feels more secure in his lead-back duties than he did entering last season when the then-rookie Benson looked like a possible threat. While all that can be viewed as positive, there are underlying concerns relating to health and age with Conner, who has still never appeared in every game in his eight NFL campaigns, turning 30 during the offseason -- a notorious milestone for running backs.
Taking everything into account, Conner heads into 2025 as a borderline top-20 fantasy back with RB2 value as his ceiling and an RB3 or flex designation on the downside in case all those miles on his body catch up to him.

Arizona signs RB Tyler Allgeier, two-year deal
Former Falcons RB headed to the Cardinals
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Mar 9, 1:46 pm
|  | BREAKING: The #Cardinals are signing #Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier to a 2-year, $12M, per sources.
Allgeier has proven to have RB1 qualities in a shared role in Atlanta, totaling 2,876 rushing yards and 20 total TDs. A big addition. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: The Cardinals are reportedly going to keep James Conner (ankle) at a reduced rate for 2026 meaning it creates a crowded backfield that includes Trey Benson who missed most of last season with a knee injury. At best, Allgeier is going to find himself in a committee and he'll have to get the bulk of his fantasy value through TDs which he was able to do last season, finding the endzone 8 times.
|  James Conner sticking in Arizona for 2026
Played just 3 games last season due to ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Mar 8, 12:33 pm
| | The Cardinals and two-time Pro Bowl RB James Conner have agreed to a revised contract to keep him in Arizona for 2026, sources say.
Conner played just three games last season because an ankle injury. But he’ll be back at age 31. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Conner will turn 31 in May and is coming off a lost season, cut short by an ankle injury. His free agent market would likely be minimal given his age and injury status, so this is a win for both the team and player. We'll see just how effective he will be in 2026 as he works in a likely timeshare with Trey Benson, who is coming off a knee injury of his own.
