Who Should I Start? James Conner or DJ Moore

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.

There is a possibility that the Chicago Bears will look to trade wide receiver DJ Moore this offseason, potentially to the Las Vegas Raiders in a package that would include All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. The Raiders are heading into a full rebuild in 2026 and could use a receiver for their expected No. 1 overall pick of a quarterback. Meanwhile, the Bears need an elite pass-rusher. The 28-year-old Moore has not been a great fit in Chicago's offense in 2025 in head coach Ben Johnson's first season. After a 1,000-yard season in 2023 in his first year in the Windy City, Moore has regressed over the last two years and currently sits at 49 catches for 671 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games played. The emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III late this year certainly could make Moore expendable this offseason.
