Who Should I Start? James Conner or Calvin Ridley

Wednesday, September 27, 7:30 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (back) is on the Week 4 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Conner has already played through a calf injury this year and is now dealing with a back issue, although it doesn't appear serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. We'll keep a close eye on the 28-year-old's status as the weekend approaches. Through three weeks, the Cardinals offense has outperformed expectations, and Conner has been the clear workhorse back in the desert. He's averaging a career-high 5.2 yards per carry for 266 yards and two touchdowns on the ground on 51 rushing attempts through three weeks. Conner is a must-start in fantasy, but he and the Cardinals have a real challenge on their hands in San Fran's defense this Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley had three receptions for 40 yards on seven targets in the loss to Houston this past weekend. It was the second week in a row the wideout failed to break a top-50 positional ranking, after finishing as WR6 in Week 1. Last week's struggles seemed to be more of a byproduct of the Jags offense as a whole, but this week Ridley shot himself in the foot with an NFL-high four drops, including one that would've been a touchdown in the first quarter. The former Alabama star was still second on the team in targets, so quarterback Trevor Lawrence continues to look his way, but he is rapidly sliding out of fantasy managers' good graces. Next week will be telling as to whether or not Ridley can be a trusted fantasy commodity this season, as the Jaguars take on the Falcons in London.
