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.

 Season-ending ankle injury for James Conner
Will require surgery
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 21, 9:30 pm
|  | Cardinals RB James Conner did in fact suffer a season-ending injury to his right ankle that will require surgery, per source. The injury is considered “severe”, even if the team does not yet know the full extent of the damage. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Conner was tackled awkwardly in the third quarter and eventually carted off the field. His loss will be significant to the Cardinals offense as he was operating as their lead back. Trey Benson will take over that role with Emari Demercado working in as a change of pace option. Benson broke off a 29-yard run in this game but his other nine carries resulted in just 13 yards.
