James Conner News
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.

Tank Bigsby News
Sunday, May 3, 11:50 AM
After opening 2025 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, running back Tank Bigsby was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles after Week 1. The 24-year-old saw limited playing time in Philadelphia while playing a backup role to star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Across 16 games with Philly, Bigsby recorded 58 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns. As long as Barkley stays healthy, Bigsby's path to fantasy-relevant production is blocked. However, Barkley is entering his age-29 season and has recorded consecutive 350-plus touch campaigns, including playoff action. Bigsby has been a highly efficient rusher when given the opportunity to this point in his NFL career, averaging 4.9 yards per carry over the past two seasons. Should Barkley go down at any point in 2026, Bigsby could immediately vault into the top-24 conversation at the running back position. In dynasty formats, Bigsby remains a high-end handcuff option heading into 2026.
