RecapJames Conner had 11 rushes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals’ Week 2 win against the Panthers, adding one catch for 18 yards.
What’s clear after two weeks of regular season play is that Conners’ weekly upside will be capped by Trey Benson’s involvement in the Arizona backfield. Benson on Sunday had three carries and four receptions, and ran one more pass route than Conner. Conner saw much of the goal line work and punched in a one-yard rush for a touchdown in the first half. He underwhelmed overall against a Carolina defense that was bludgeoned on the ground by the Jaguars in Week 1. Conner should still be a decent RB2 play in Week 3 against the Niners.
