Summary

James Conner returns to the Arizona Cardinals on a two-year deal, shaking up the fantasy football landscape and potentially blocking Trey Benson’s breakout. Marcus Mosher and Michael Fabiano break down Conner’s value as Arizona’s likely RB1, discussing his injury history, age concerns, and limited long-term appeal for dynasty and redraft managers. Is Conner simply a roster clogger, or can he deliver RB2/flex value while healthy in 2026?

0:06.1	We'll tell you what that means for his value.

0:34.1	Welcome back to the Lockdown Dynasty Football Podcast, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network,
0:35.8	your team every day.
0:39.6	We'd like to thank you for making us the number one sports podcast network.
0:41.6	I am your host, Marcus Mosier.
0:45.5	He is the fantasy football hall famer, Michael Fabiano.
0:50.8	And on today's show, we're discussing James Connor, friend of the show, resigning with the Arizona Cardinals on a two-year deal.
0:55.1	Fabs, honestly, I thought for sure that he was going to be leaving, going somewhere else,
0:59.5	opening up a possibility for Trey Benson.
1:01.5	We'll get to Benson in a second.
1:03.5	But what do you make of Connor resigning with the Cardinals?
1:06.7	I was surprised too, because this was kind of the perfect opportunity for Arizona to make a business decision and move on from James Connor being that he's going to be 31 in I believe July and they have Trey Benson behind him.
1:20.1	We're going to talk about Benson, but it's all bad for him.

1:26.6	And I wouldn't be surprised if he brought back RB2 flex value in fantasy. But while he's healthy, that's the part while he's healthy. While he's healthy, right. We're talking about Dynasty here, though. And, you know, he may have one more decent year left in him. And I don't even, I mean, decent would be, what, 850 rushing yards and, you know,
1:44.7	maybe seven or eight touchdowns. So obviously he's far past his prime. The injury concerns
1:50.3	are a major issue. He's the RB 50 right now for a reason over at Dynasty League football.
1:56.9	Could he move up a little bit? I mean, certainly now that it looks like he's going to be the starter, but I don't want anything to do with James Conner in Dynasty to be quite honest with you. I don't know if I want anything to do with James Connor in redraft unless he becomes very, very cheap. And I could get him somewhere in the, you know, eighth, ninth, tenth, round is maybe like an RB4.
