James Conner News
Friday, May 1, 12:10 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Conner was present for the start of Arizona's voluntary offseason program in early April, which could be a good sign that he's on track to be ready for the start of the 2026 season. However, Conner now projects as the RB3 in Arizona at best after the Cardinals signed former Atlanta Falcons back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Conner was a productive player as recently as 2024, when he recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. Still, with Conner entering his age-31 season and coming off foot surgery, Arizona clearly prioritized upgrading at the position with its offseason moves. Barring a change of scenery before the start of the season, Conner's dynasty value is plummeting.

Bijan Robinson News
Sunday, May 3, 5:52 AM
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has posted fantasy finishes of RB9, RB4, and RB3 through his first three seasons, and it's possible he's yet to reach his true ceiling. As a rookie under head coach Arthur Smith, Robinson ceded meaningful touches to a capable backup in Tyler Allgeier. In years two and three, under the defensive-minded Raheem Morris, Robinson's usage spiked, particularly in the passing game, but Allgeier still averaged 153.5 touches. With Allgeier out the door in free agency, he's been replaced by Brian Robinson Jr., who handled only 92 carries in 2025 as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey. And with new head coach Kevin Stefanski coming from Cleveland, where Nick Chubb would routinely see 25 opportunities per game in his prime, things could be shaping up for the incumbent Robinson to take yet another leap on his superstar trajectory. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB1, he's nearly impossible to acquire via trade, but managers lucky enough to roster the 24-year-old Robinson should still enjoy several more seasons of league-winning production.
