Who Should I Start? James Conner or Romeo Doubs

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 had a lackluster last few weeks of fantasy production, but looks to get back on track when the Lions face the Packers in Week 13 on Thanksgiving. After averaging eight targets per game in Week 6 through Week 9, Doubs is averaging just five targets per game in his last three games, with the Packers opting to get back to running the ball much more. In the last three contests, Doubs has had a combined seven receptions, 81 yards, and zero touchdowns in that span. He's taken a backseat in the pecking order to Christian Watson, who has asserted himself as a player who can earn targets. Even with Watson's emergence in recent weeks, this is still a good spot for Doubs. He's a solid flex play for fantasy managers this week, but just know that the points floor is a bit low.
