Schefter: Cardinals James Conner (knee) to miss multiple weeks

Oct 10, 2023

Cardinals’ RB James Conner is expected to miss multiple weeks with the knee injury he suffered Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Related players: Keaontay Ingram, Emari Demercado, Corey Clement, Tony Jones

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter went on to say Conner is now a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, per sources, which would mean he'll miss at least the next four games. After Conner left the game, Demercado took over the RB duties and will likely do so again with Conner out. Ingram is still dealing with a neck injury and has missed two-straight games and his status is unknown at this point for Week 6. The team did sign Jones but it looks like Demercado could be the RB1 at least in the short term. There's a very good chance Demercado is on your wire outside of deeper and dynasty leagues and could at least make for a usable fill-in at the running back spot.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
