Suffered knee injury in Week 16

FFToday's Take: While the Cardinals have nothing to play for at this point, Conner does. He has never played a full season over his eight-year NFL career but is on the verge of doing so in 2024. Gannon did make an interesting comment during his presser on Tuesday, suggesting Arizona would do what is best for (Conner) first and then what is best for the team. Even more encouragingly, he was listed as limited in Tuesday's estimated practice. Trey Benson (ankle) was limited as well after missing Week 16. If Conner suits up against the Rams on Saturday, he should be in fantasy lineups. If he doesn't, Benson and Michael Carter should be expected to share the load. If neither Conner nor Benson are active, then Carter becomes a high-end flex option.
