Who Should I Start? James Conner or Devin Singletary

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.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary rushed eight times for 20 yards, adding another 53 on 3-of-3 receiving in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the hosting Chicago Bears; however, he saw his snap percentage decrease from 56% to 33% in Week 10, after in Week 9, he played 56% of the snaps. At this time, the Giants' offensive backfield appears to be a running back by committee between Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr., making both of them RB3/flex options at best. Jameis Winston is now under center for the Giants as Jaxson Dart (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 11. Additionally, the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll, and Mike Kafka has been named the interim head coach. It's unclear how he will approach this backfield. Their matchup in Week 11 also includes the Green Bay Packers, who are the fifth-best at limiting opposing running backs, making Singletary and Tracy difficult to trust in your lineups this week.
