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.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had 32 carries for 244 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 42 receiving yards. The superstar running back strengthened his candidacy for the NFL rushing title, and he also improved his unlikely but not impossible odds in the MVP race. Taylor is now the overall RB1 in fantasy football this season. He remains an undisputed must-start on the other side of Indianapolis' Week 11 bye.
