Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 1 Half PPR Rankings

40.
James Conner
RB - (at WAS)
Volume. Volume. Volume. That's the thesis on drafting James Conner, and starting him every single week, regardless of matchup. Because the matchup versus the Commanders' fierce defensive line is horrible. But as we have seen time and time again, volume is king in fantasy football. And I fully expect a Week 1 Conner - by far at the healthiest he will ever be during the season - to be the engine of this unaspiring Arizona offensive attack. Keep in mind that Conner was a BEAST last year even without Kyler Murray. Conner averaged 21 points per game in six games played without Murray last season. RB2. Lock.

Trey McBride
TE - (at WAS)
Should Zach Ertz not be available, that would tee up McBride to be the Cardinals' clear-cut TE1 for Week 1. McBride was the TE11 from Weeks 14-18 as his role expanded due to injuries on the Cardinals roster. His major highlight came against the Falcons in Week 17, where he caught 7 balls for 78 yards and 1 TD on ten targets with Marquise Brown active in the lineup. That earned him a top-3 weekly fantasy finish, making him one of just 23 unique tight ends to do so. His decorated college profile - 1,125 receiving yards and 30% target rate per route run in 2021 - suggests he can post points with a starting role. It's not crazy to think he could be the No. 2 pass-catcher on this offense in 2023. But let's see how things shake out first in Week 1 with a total unknown at quarterback.
