It seems like every year a player gets on a scoring role that is hard to predict or project. In 2021, that player was Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner. He came to the Cardinals after being left for dead when the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Najee Harris and had no use for the veteran Conner.
Below, we look at James Conner‘s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
In his 1st season with the Cardinals, he was expected to be in a battle with Chase Edmonds for playing time and, while Conner had almost twice as many carries, he averaged just 3.7 yards per rush and wasn’t a dangerous breakaway threat. However, he scored a whopping 18 touchdowns in 15 games — a number that will be difficult to replicate.
James Conner’s ADP: 32.00
