Cardinals RB James Conner got just 10 carries in Sunday's blowout loss to the Chiefs, compiling a meager 26 yards. But he scored the team's lone rushing TD and added 5 receptions (for 29 yards) among 6 targets. Conner tied for 2nd on the team in targets and handled 71.4% of the RB rushes. It was a bad game script for RB usage, but Conner still easily led the team in opportunities and heads into Monday night as the #13 PPR scorer at the position for Week 1. Eno Benjamin got the other 4 RB carries and drew 4 targets. Just 1 of those came after QB Trace McSorley relieved Kyler Murray for the final possession.
