Conner rushed 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown while corralling all five of his targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.
In what would become the Cardinals' Week 10 theme, Conner made himself available when Kyler Murray was pressured on the opening drive, taking a 44-yard catch-and-run pass down to the Jets' one-yard line. The play was initially called as a touchdown but it was overturned upon review after the officials spotted Conner's poorly placed glute muscle grazing the grass just outside the end zone. Jonathan Gannon then gave Conner two tries to punch it in, yielding Conner's fifth touchdown of 2024. He is on bye in Week 11 but returns to RB1 status against the Seahawks in Week 12.
Surprisingly, Cardinals RB James Conner tied for the team league in targets with five and led the team in receiving with 80 yards. He ran the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a TD and was actually outperformed by rookie RB Trey Benson who had 62 yards rushing on 10 carries.
Wilson is just a complementary player, operating as the team's No. 4 passing game weapon behind Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and James Conner. He does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues and is on bye in Week 11.
Cardinals running back James Conner had a big game against the Bears last weekend, but never found his way into the end zone.
