James Conner Doing Side Work with Trainers During OTAs

Thursday, June 4, 12:27 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot/ankle) has been working off to the side with team trainers during OTAs, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Conner is working his way back from the gruesome foot/ankle injury that ended his 2025 season in Week 3. The 31-year-old was a highly productive player in his last fully healthy season with Arizona in 2024, recording 1,508 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. However, Conner's role with the Cardinals entering 2026 is in question after the team signed running back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the number three overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on running back Jeremiyah Love. Even if he's able to return in time for the start of the upcoming season, Conner may be limited to RB3 duties in Arizona and would likely need either an injury above him on the depth chart or a change in scenery to provide fantasy-relevant production.

Justice Hill News

Justice Hill a Drop Candidate in Dynasty Formats

Thursday, June 18, 5:38 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill could have an uphill battle ahead of him to keep the No. 2 role in the backfield. Hill only played in 10 games this past season due to injuries. When healthy, Hill finished with 93 rushing yards while hauling in 21 receptions for 169 yards through the air in 2025. Hill could have a tough time securing the backup gig after a lackluster campaign last season. The Ravens selected Adam Randall in the fifth-round during this year's draft. He could quickly surpass Hill on the depth chart, assuming he looks good during training camp. There's not a ton of carries available when Derrick Henry is healthy, but the Ravens are likely looking towards the future at this point. It wouldn't be shocking to see them give more carries to Randall over Hill, who is 28 years old.
