| Expert | ||
| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Are there any leagues where you have Conner on your roster that you're contemplating not starting him this week? Everything is lining up here for Conner to have a monstrous performance. The Cardinals are 17.5-point favorites at the time of writing, Chase Edmonds doesn't appear to be at 100%, and the Cardinals are most likely going to be running the ball for the entire second half. We should see Conner get plenty of work this week against an abysmal defense that is bleeding fantasy points to opposing RBs and he's going to get goal-line opportunities. Normally, we don't want to rely on Conner over more proven options in our starting lineup, but with so many RBs currently on byes and injured, Conner should be viewed as a mid-range RB2 this week. | Michel has remained a change-of-pace back in this offense as Henderson has simply dominated the starting work, but he's seen some work in games where LA has gone up big and is looking to run out the clock. In any normal week, starting Michel would be a very risky game to play. However, we know that the Rams are going to cover the gigantic spread in this matchup and they're most likely going to run the ball for the majority of the second half. Michel should be able to see enough work to be a viable fantasy asset this week for teams that are desperate for a starting option. There's certainly some risk involved as he will only be involved if the game is out of hand, but the path for relevancy is there. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | The Texans are just 25th against fantasy backs, but the majority of the points allowed have come versus the run and not versus receiving backs. Conner figures to be the better option against a team that has allowed 6 rushing TDs in 6 games this year to go along with 731 rushing yards allowed to running backs. | |
