James Conner News
Thursday, June 4, 12:27 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot/ankle) has been working off to the side with team trainers during OTAs, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Conner is working his way back from the gruesome foot/ankle injury that ended his 2025 season in Week 3. The 31-year-old was a highly productive player in his last fully healthy season with Arizona in 2024, recording 1,508 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. However, Conner's role with the Cardinals entering 2026 is in question after the team signed running back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the number three overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on running back Jeremiyah Love. Even if he's able to return in time for the start of the upcoming season, Conner may be limited to RB3 duties in Arizona and would likely need either an injury above him on the depth chart or a change in scenery to provide fantasy-relevant production.

TreVeyon Henderson News
Tuesday, June 9, 5:26 AM
As a rookie in 2025, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was the only back on the roster to play in all 17 games, but he saw the field on fewer than 46% of the team's offensive snaps. Despite the limited opportunities, he still led the team with 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns, and heading into year two, he has told reporters his goals are to improve as a pass protector and receiver, which should lead to more total work and an elevated fantasy floor to go with his already electric upside. Finishing third in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, Henderson is starting from a higher place than most, but historically, young running backs have seen monumental growth in their second season in a Josh McDaniels offense. If the 23-year-old second-round pick can follow suit with even a modest step forward, Henderson has true RB1 potential and could return immense value from his current ranking of RotoBaller's dynasty RB15.
