James Conner On COVID-19 List
3 years agoArizona Cardinals running back James Conner has been placed on the COVID-19 list after being labeled a close contact. He was one of four players placed on the list, including defensive linemen Leki Fotu, tight end Darrell Daniels, and safety Charles Washington. This is tough news for Conner, as getting some reps with his new team would be a valuable experience to learn the new offense. Conner figures to have some fantasy value upon his return, as he is potentially being placed into the role that Kenyan Drake occupied last season. He likely won't get as much volume as Drake did, but he has some upside for touchdowns in what should be a high-scoring offense. He is at best a flex play in season-long leagues.
