00:02 >> You probably could ask the above average fantasy football fan and
00:07 say, who's the handcuff to every player?
00:11 Arizona is so thin that Conor is getting every single snap on the field for
00:16 the Cardinals.
00:17 And as long as he's doing that, even in losses in these games where it's just
00:20 dumping off to the running back, he's still gonna be viable.
00:23 >> Yeah, they actually changed things up in the backfield a little bit cuz
00:28 Ingram was out last week, he's got a neck injury.
00:31 You never really like seeing a running back with a neck injury.
00:34 So they played this kid, Amari DiMarcato, who was the backup running back at
00:40 Texas Christian University for the Horned Frogs last season,
00:43 making that college football playoff bull run behind Kendri Miller,
00:47 who has been playing for the New Orleans Saints.
00:49 I would definitely be sitting Conor.
00:51 Well, they are three point home underdogs to the Bengals.
00:56 Do I think James Connors gonna score a touchdown here?
00:58 Do I think the Bengals are gonna win this game?
01:00 Absolutely not.
01:01 I mean, I guess I would start James Conner over Miles Sanders if I had them both on
01:05 the same team.
01:06 But part of this is like it's hard for
01:09 me to imagine a team where I would have drafted James Conner.
01:12 Because he was going in drafts next to all these wide receivers that I loved.
01:16 I guess James Conner probably is about the safest eight point floor you can find on
01:22 your bench.
01:22 You're sitting there looking at your fantasy football team and
01:24 you're like, I got a good start.
01:26 I'm not playing against DJ Moore, Justin Fields this week.
01:29 I just need a guy to kind of get me over the line.
01:31 I suppose that I would err on the side of starting him.
01:37 But again, it can't feel that good to have to start James Conner in fantasy
01:41 football.
