James Conner Buried on Cardinals' Depth Chart Heading into 2026

Friday, May 1, 12:10 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Conner was present for the start of Arizona's voluntary offseason program in early April, which could be a good sign that he's on track to be ready for the start of the 2026 season. However, Conner now projects as the RB3 in Arizona at best after the Cardinals signed former Atlanta Falcons back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Conner was a productive player as recently as 2024, when he recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. Still, with Conner entering his age-31 season and coming off foot surgery, Arizona clearly prioritized upgrading at the position with its offseason moves. Barring a change of scenery before the start of the season, Conner's dynasty value is plummeting.

Nick Chubb News

Former Pro Bowler Nick Chubb No Longer a Player Worth Holding in Dynasty Leagues

Friday, May 29, 5:25 AM

Since tearing his ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a devastating 2023 knee injury, veteran running back Nick Chubb has been unable to recapture the form that had made him a fantasy RB1 every year from 2019 to 2022, and as teams around the league gather for organized practices, he remains unsigned. His 15 games with the Texans in 2025 were the most since the injury, but he managed only 506 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and spent most of the season behind 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks. Now north of 30, any deal Chubb signs will likely be as a depth piece in an existing committee, as his bell cow days are comfortably behind him. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB100, he is no longer a player who needs to be rostered, even if he signs with a team before training camp.
