James Conner News
Tuesday, April 7, 5:56 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) was present on Tuesday for the start of the team's voluntary strength and conditioning program, according to Bo Brack of PHNX Sports. Conner was limited to just three games last year due to a foot injury that required surgery, but he's back for offseason workouts as he heads into his 10th year in the NFL. The 30-year-old two-time Pro Bowler will not only see a big drop in fantasy value going into next season because of his injury, but also because the Cardinals added Tyler Allgeier in free agency on a two-year, $8 million deal. Trey Benson (knee), who is also rehabbing from a season-ending injury in 2025, remains on the roster as well. Conner has been the Cardinals' lead back since the start of the 2021 season, but that is definitely going to change in 2026, as he'll be battling for playing time among two other very capable backs. In addition, the Cardinals have been rumored to be considering taking Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick in this year's NFL draft.

Jaylen Wright News
Thursday, April 2, 4:24 PM
Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finished 2025 with 70 carries, trailing only De'Von Achane in Miami's running back room despite missing seven games. With the Dolphins clearing house on the offensive side of the ball and all but declaring 2026 to be a rebuilding year, running back would seem to be a low-priority position for them in the upcoming NFL Draft. Ollie Gordon II will have his own role in keeping Achane fresh, especially with Miami likely to face an influx of loaded boxes, but he was inefficient as a rookie, and Wright is more adept at handling some of the vacated targets in the passing game. While Miami's offense is unlikely to produce multiple fantasy contributors in 2026, Wright still maintains some dynasty value as the more direct handcuff to Achane.
