Who Should I Start? James Conner or Josh Jacobs

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner salvaged his fantasy week against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 with a four-yard receiving touchdown in the second quarter. Outside of that, he saw 12 carries for only 39 yards while Trey Benson took eight carries for 69 yards. We may have finally hit the timeline where Benson takes more and more touches away from Conner. The good news, for both backs, is that they're going up against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. They just gave up 143 yards to Travis Etienne and 200 rushing yards overall. So, even though Benson will likely get some more opportunities, Conner remains an RB2 given that he sticks as the number-one guy in the backfield.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs continued to have success during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Last week, Jacobs rushed 66 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Detroit Lions. Jacobs continued his success on Thursday with 84 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a touchdown in the victory over the Commanders. He carried the ball into the endzone in the second quarter for his second score of the season and it marked his 10th straight game with a touchdown. Jacobs will remain a RB1 and the workhorse back heading into their Week 3 matchup versus the Cleveland Browns.
