James Conner lying motionless on field after awkward tackle

[nobody 2,805]

Conner got spun down a bit.  Then he just lied there and they cut to break.

Team crowded around as they put him on a cart.  Must be one of those sick leg breaks or something I guess.

Just showed the replay.  His knee bent the wrong way pretty far.

Benson Time 

Dynasty folks rejoice. Not for the injury of course.

Too bad Benson kind of looks like ass.  

He came in after the injury and Kyler wanted him to go in motion, but it took Kyler like 5 seconds to get him to move.  Cardinals needed to call a timeout.  Emari Demercardo came in on the next play.

He did come back in and pop off a 29 yarder after that though.  I have Benson in all 3 leagues and I'm not overly optimistic.  I'm just hoping for volume to get something resembling production.

well, the cards will trade for a RB.  this seems obvious.

Not sure how Bensons blitz pickup is, but Conor was very good at it.   so if they pick up a guy who has good blocking skills, they will likely plug him into the 3rd down role.

if they pick up a guy capable of starting, then they dont have the confidence in Benson.  

I do think they will give Benson a chance to prove he can start.   but I'm pretty sure a RB is on the way.

The positive for Benson owners, he will get all weeks reps with the 1s., preparing him for starting role.

I think Benson is going to be productive, but Zona isn’t.

well the next few games they will know if hes capable of starting (or not)

Conor is at an age where his days as a starting RB in the NFL are numbered.   this injury may actually have finished him off as a starter.

if Benson proves he can play, they use a later pick to get a RB next year.  if he looks questionable, they will use an earlier pick.
