Who Should I Start? James Conner or Jalen Hurts

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) didn't return to Sunday's overtime loss to the Panthers. The veteran had another fantastic showing, amassing 117 yards and a touchdown off 15 carries. He also had four catches for 49 yards. Conner likely would have been more productive in Week 16. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury and didn't return. The 29-year-old will likely undergo testing in the coming days. However, the Cardinals can't make the playoffs, so the team may not put him out there against the Rams in Week 17. If that's the case, Michael Carter, who had 18 yards off five attempts, will presumably remain the No. 1 option out of the backfield.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) for the remainder of their Week 16 divisional match against the Washington Commanders. Hurts sustained this injury on their second offensive drive of the game when he took a hard hit on a 13-yard carry. On Philadelphia's opening drive, Hurts let Saquon Barkley do most of the work as punched in a two-yard score. Kenny Pickett found A.J. Brown in the end zone to finish their second drive once Hurts exited. Before the injury, Hurts completed just one pass for 11 yards to DeVonta Smith. He added 41 yards on three rushing attempts. Pickett will remain the starting quarterback for the remainder of the game and could be in line to start next weekend against the Dallas Cowboys depending on Hurts' availability.
