Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur admitted Wednesday that it's "too early to tell" whether RB James Conner will be available for Week 1. Conner continues to work back from last September's season-ending right ankle injury. He's "progressing well," LaFleur added.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Tyler Allgeier Could Be A Week 1 Starter
Arizona's backfield looked crowded a few weeks ago. But now Trey Benson is gone, Jeremiyah Love is sidelined with a high-ankle sprain, and Conner is uncertain for the start of the season.
That could leave Tyler Allgeier in a big role early. He's a particularly nice pick on Zero RB fantasy teams looking for early-season production to stay afloat at RB.
Conner, meanwhile, is a tough click in drafts. He's 31 and still isn't right nearly a year removed from this ankle injury.
