Is James Conner Playing Today? (Latest Injury Update for Cardinals vs. Seahawks in NFL Week 6)
By Peter Dewey
The Arizona Cardinals will be without starting running back James Conner for their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6.
Running back Darrel Williams will also miss this game, which thrusts former seventh-round pick Eno Benjamin into the starting role.
Cardinals’ HC Kliff Kingsbury told reporters today that RB James Conner, RB Darrel Williams, K Matt Prater, and CB Trayvon Mullen are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks.

Benjamin has been really solid this season in a change-of-pace role, averaging 4.5 yards per carry this season and has totaled at least 23 rushing and receiving yards in each game.
Eno Benjamin Game by Game Stats
Week 1: Seven touches, 51 total yards
Week 2: 11 touches, 51 total yards
Week 3: Seven touches, 23 total yards
Week 4: Six touches, 45 total yards
Week 5: 11 touches, 53 total yards, touchdown
Benjamin's combined rushing and receiving yards prop is approaching 90 for this Week 6 matchup.
Seattle has been one of the worst defenses in the NFL this season, so Benjamin could be a great prop target this week.
Conner was considered day-to-day prior to being ruled out this week, so it's possible this is a short-term stint where Benjamin is the bellcow. However, he is a terrific prop target this week and a must-add in fantasy if he's still available in your league.
