Who Should I Start? James Conner or Josh Jacobs

The Arizona Cardinals signed running back James Conner a two-year, $19 million contract extension on Saturday, according to a source. Conner was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season, but the Cardinals will instead lock him in for another two years. Arizona drafted Trey Benson out of Texas back in April, but the 29-year-old Conner will move forward as the team's primary backfield piece going forward as long as he's healthy. The former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 out of Pittsburgh is having another strong season and is on pace for back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons for the first time in his career. Conner currently has 705 rushing yards and five TDs on 166 carries (4.2 yards per tote) in 11 games. Coming off a quiet performance in Week 12, Conner should be considered a low-end RB2 in fantasy in Week 13 against the Vikings.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has a productive day at the office as the Packers rolled up the Miami Dolphins 30-17 at Lambeau Field. Jacobs took quite a bit of rushing volume but was pretty inefficient with it as he rushed 19 times for 43 yards, but got into the end zone toward the end of the first quarter. Where Jacobs made his night was in the passing game, as he caught 4-of-4 passes for 74 yards, including a 49-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter. Jacobs should be considered a low-end fantasy RB1 for Thursday Night Football, where the Packers will travel to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions.
