Veteran RB in crowded Cardinals backfield. One commenter expects Conner to be released before the season starts, suggesting he's the odd man out. Described as a 'distinguished veteran' and 'not a locker room problem.' His role is unclear in a three-way split with Love and Allgeier.NegativeInjuryJul 31, 2026
31-year-old veteran with season-ending ankle and knee injury last year; not practicing fully in camp. Reworked contract to keep him ($2.1M guaranteed). Community views him as likely done or trade candidate; some think he lost the job when he broke his leg. Minimal upside; one comment suggests he might fall a few rounds and be a value, but consensus is to avoid.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
Conner (age 31) is part of three-headed committee with Love and Allgeier. Coming off season-ending injury and was already losing snaps to Trey Benson before injury. Expected to handle early-down work (1st/2nd down carries) with Love on 3rd down and Allgeier in red zone. One comment notes Conner will take first down and second down work. Some see late-round value if Love and Allgeier are faded; one comment suggests Conner as value play. However, injury history and age (31) make him unreliable.PositiveValueJul 26, 2026
Hackett praised Conner's opportunity to "show what he's got," but community interprets this as potential starter role over Love, which would be controversial. Conner currently in 60s ADP (RB overall) vs. Love in teens; some see Conner as late-round value play if he steals early-season snaps. Concerns: age, injury history, reworked deal (only $2M cap hit to cut). One comment: "I'm a Conner truther, he's actually a good football player and they love him as a leader there." Counterpoint: if Conner starts over Love, "fantasy community is gonna riot." Realistic scenario: Conner released before season to clear cap space.PositiveValueJul 24, 2026
Cardinals RB; finished top 10 in 2024 despite Cardinals being bad team; age (older) but still productive; example of elite talent/workload overcoming bad situation.
