James Conner

James Conner reported to the start of the Cardinals voluntary workouts on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Conner was a candidate to be a cap casualty this offseason, but he wound up restructuring his contract with Arizona. He is coming off a year where he was limited to just three games. It will likely be a committee with Tyler Allgeier in the Cardinals backfield with Trey Benson potentially playing a role behind them.

James Conner’s contract restructure is for one year and $2.35 million.

Fantasy Impact

Conner will earn $2.1 million guaranteed. He'll likely be in a committee with Tyler Allgeier next season in the Cardinals backfield.

The Cardinals and two-time Pro Bowl RB James Conner have agreed to a revised contract to keep him in Arizona for the 2026 season.

Fantasy Impact

Conner had been a potential cap casualty, but he'll remain in Arizona on a restructured contract. The Cardinals backfield remains one to monitor the rest of the offseason.

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to part ways with veteran RB James Conner.

Fantasy Impact

Conner suffered a season-ending injury in Week 3 of 2025. Heading into his age-31 season, he may no longer be a viable fantasy asset.

James Conner (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the Cardinals' loss to the 49ers that will require surgery. The extent of the damage to his ankle is unknown.

Fantasy Impact

It's a big blow to all Conner managers. He is droppable for redraft purposes. Trey Benson will take over as the lead back in Arizona with Conner out, and is a top priority if available on waivers.
