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.

Since returning from a high-ankle sprain that caused him to miss three games, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has finished as the WR8, WR20, and WR24 in half-PPR scoring. Coming off a bye week, the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, and Lamb has the potential to be the overall WR1 for the week. As wintery weather begins to affect games across the country, Lamb will be playing indoors in Vegas against a Raiders defense that has allowed 30.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. While he hasn't scored a touchdown in either of his last two games, he's seen a team-high three redzone targets in that time, and his overall target share hasn't dipped below 27% since his return. The Cowboys are projected for 27 points, and one of the most likely ways they hit that mark is on the back of a vintage CeeDee Lamb performance.
