Who Should I Start? James Conner or Breece Hall

Saturday, September 13, 9:41 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner salvaged his fantasy week against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 with a four-yard receiving touchdown in the second quarter. Outside of that, he saw 12 carries for only 39 yards while Trey Benson took eight carries for 69 yards. We may have finally hit the timeline where Benson takes more and more touches away from Conner. The good news, for both backs, is that they're going up against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. They just gave up 143 yards to Travis Etienne and 200 rushing yards overall. So, even though Benson will likely get some more opportunities, Conner remains an RB2 given that he sticks as the number-one guy in the backfield.

Week 2 didn't go as expected for running back Breece Hall and the New York Jets' offense. The 24-year-old exploded for 107 rushing yards in the team's season opener, notching his first 100-yard effort on the ground since Week 6 of last season. However, Buffalo's defense proved too much for quarterback Justin Fields, who seemed to regress after his superb outing against the Steelers. Now, it's unclear which version we'll get from week to week. It isn't all doom and gloom for Hall, as he's either tied for or outright been the team's second-leading target getter in both games. Furthermore, he's very clearly the No. 1 option out of the backfield. Expectations need to be tempered for the time being, but the fourth-year pro still has a clear path to production. He'll look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
