Who Should I Start? James Conner or Aaron Jones

Monday, October 2, 12:38 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner rushed 11 times for 52 yards while adding a four-yard reception off of two targets in Sunday's 35-16 loss to the 49ers. Due to San Francisco taking a quick lead, the Cardinals had no choice but to abandon the run game in the second half. Despite this, Conner actually averaged 4.7 YPC on his 11 attempts, and no other Arizona running back received more than one carry. As the current RB13 in the entire NFL, Conner is averaging a healthy 5.1 YPC and will look to further cement his role as the team's No. 1 RB heading into next week's matchup against Cincinnati.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson said they were effectively on a snap count in their first game back on Thursday night in the 34-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. Jones had just five carries for 18 yards and caught one of two targets for a four-yard loss, while Watson hauled in two of his four targets for 25 yards, saving his fantasy day with a wide-open touchdown. Jones was making his first appearance since Week 1, while Thursday night's game was the first of the year for Watson, so fantasy managers shouldn't have been all that surprised that both players didn't play a big part, especially in a game that was never really close all night. Expect more involvement from both in next week's game on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.
