BALLER MOVE: Start in Standard Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had a bad game in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, taking seven carries for just 24 yards, catching four passes for 22 yards, failing to score a touchdown, and losing a fumble in the process. However, most players have bad games from time to time.
He's still the workhorse running back of this backfield, doesn't have an injury designation, and has been playing excellent football so far this year. The 29-year-old is still forcing missed tackles at a high rate and routinely creating extra yardage on plays. He should keep his role, as rookie backup Trey Benson hasn't gotten significant volume yet.
James Conner recorded 19 carries for 86 yards while forcing 9 missed tackles, tied for the 4th most by any player in a game this season.

He is tough to catch and bring down, and he was able to be productive against the excellent San Francisco 49ers run defense. He also has four games of 14 or more PPR fantasy points.
Backs who are getting as many touches as Conner are in short supply, he should be started in all leagues.
