Who Should I Start? James Conner or Justice Hill

Monday, September 22, 6:34 PM

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.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill hasn't done much throughout the 2025 campaign. Although he had two touchdowns in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he's been quiet overall from a production standpoint. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 35 offensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Yet, since the Ravens returned from their bye week, that number dropped considerably, with Hill logging only 11 offensive snaps in the Thursday night win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. With Baltimore looking to build on a two-game winning streak, the team is aiming for a much-needed victory over Minnesota on Sunday. The Vikings have looked good at times on the defensive side of the ball this season. However, regardless of the matchup, Hill isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. That likely won't change anytime soon, especially with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry getting most of the carries.
