James Conner Won't Return in Week 9

Wednesday, November 4, 6:14 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) remains a speculative injured-reserve stash, not an immediate answer to Arizona's backfield problems. RotoBaller's Week 9 waiver rankings list him at 6% rostered and recommend adding him in leagues with 12 or more teams, but coach Mike LaFleur confirmed he will not return against the Seattle Seahawks. Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was placed on IR Tuesday, and Bam Knight is in concussion protocol. Tyler Allgeier is set to lead the backfield after producing 147 rushing yards, 44 receiving yards and two total touchdowns in Sunday's overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys. Evan Hull is also on the roster, with Jerome Ford available for elevation from the practice squad. Conner has not played since a right foot injury ended his 2025 season in Week 3, although he rushed for 1,094 yards and caught 47 passes in 2024. That past production makes him interesting for patient fantasy managers, but he has yet to be cleared to practice, and his return date remains uncertain.

Sincere McCormick Improves His Stock In Preseason Win

Friday, August 21, 1:02 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Sincere McCormick led the team in rushing for another week in the team's preseason meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. While starter Kaelon Black and backup Zamir White handled more carries, McCormick finished with a team-high 53 rushing yards and scored a touchdown in the 49ers' 41-17 win. McCormick got the bulk of his yardage after taking advantage of solid blocking and weaving his way through traffic and then exploding for a 37-yard gain. Two plays later, McCormick fought his way into the end zone from seven yards out. Despite being used as an alternate, McCormick has outshone his teammates for the second game in a row. The 49ers' depth chart at running back is yet to be settled, but whoever wins might be worth a late flyer as Christian McCaffrey's handcuff. McCormick's last preseason audition to be San Francisco's RB2 will come on August 27 against the Raiders.
