Who Should I Start? James Conner or Romeo Doubs

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been the most consistent wide receiver target for the team this season and could be ready to take on more targets after the injury to Tucker Kraft (knee). Doubs led the Packers with seven catches for 91 yards on 10 targets in their ugly 16-13 loss to the Panthers last week. No other Green Bay pass catcher drew more than five targets. The 25-year-old should continue to build on his already solid production and could elevate his numbers in Kraft's absence. Christian Watson's return will draw away some targets, but his presence helps stretch the field, creating more opportunities for Doubs and the offense. Doubs is ranked as RotoBaller's WR32 for Week 10.
