ESPN Fantasy Projection: Conner re-signed with Arizona and, with Chase Edmonds no longer in the mix, he's now the team's clear-cut feature back. We saw Conner in that role for six weeks last season and the results were impressive. He totaled 665 yards and 10 TDs on 130 touches, trailing only Jonathan Taylor in fantasy points during the span. Of course, Conner was productive even with Edmonds active thanks to heavy usage near the goal line. Conner registered 12 carries from opponent's 1-yard line, which was three more than any other player. He finished no lower than third among RBs in TDs (18), expected TDs (11.8) and carries inside the 5-yard line (16). Probable TD regression is likely to be offset by more touches, so 27-year-old Conner is very much on the RB1 radar and has top-five upside.
