Fantasy Impact:
It's good and bad news for fantasy owners as a highly questionable Conner would have made for a tough decision. At this point, Jaylen Samuels is a must-start, but owners should know that the Saints defense has been strong against the run with a No. 3 DVOA rank. If your league plays into Week 17, do not drop Conner as he would have a dream matchup against the Bengals to close out the regular season.
