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.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught seven of his 12 targets for 85 yards in Monday night's 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Lamb hasn't missed a beat since returning from his ankle injury in Week 7 against Washington, catching 19 of 30 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown in the past three games. It was a slow start in the first half for the 26-year-old superstar, but he was able to turn in a solid fantasy day in a game where Dallas' offense wasn't at its best. Lamb has been a target hog this season, drawing at least 10 targets in four games despite only playing six games. Only seven other wide receivers this season have as many or more games. Lamb and the Cowboys will get a chance to regroup after their Week 10 bye.
