Who Should I Start? James Conner or CeeDee Lamb

Monday, September 22, 6:34 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery on Monday after suffering a significant right ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Conner was carted off with his ankle immobilized, and head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed he won't return this season. With Conner sidelined, the Cardinals will turn to second-year back Trey Benson, who has been highly efficient, averaging 6.0 yards per carry (second among RBs). Gannon praised Benson before the season, noting he viewed both Conner and Benson as capable starters. Benson now projects as the lead option in Arizona's backfield, while Emari Demercado is expected to mix in behind him.

Across seven games in 2025, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has recorded 40 catches for 557 yards and two touchdowns on 61 targets. Even with fellow Dallas wideout George Pickens in the midst of a breakout season, Lamb has earned double-digit targets in four out of the six games where he has played all four quarters. In Week 12, Lamb gets a difficult matchup when the Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles. For the season, the Eagles are tied with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (nine). Philadelphia has also played some of its best defense of late, holding the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to a combined 16 points over the last two weeks. Still, in his first matchup of the season against the Eagles in Week 1, Lamb recorded seven catches for 110 yards on 13 targets and could have had an even bigger game if not for a couple of uncharacteristic drops. He remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 12 against his division rival.
