James Conner or J.K. Dobbins Week 7 Start 'Em Sit 'Em picks and fantasy outlook
James Conner and J.K. Dobbins will face off in Week 7 of the 2024 fantasy football season on Monday Night Football. They have been featured players for their NFL offenses and both make for legitimate lineup options when the Los Angeles Chargers take on the Arizona Cardinals. Here's which one is a better pick.
Is James Conner a good fantasy pick in Week 7?
James Conner is having another solid fantasy football season as the leading running back for the Arizona Cardinals. He has finished among the top 20 running backs in each of his three completed years with the team and enters Week 7 of this season currently ranked as the overall RB21. He has done so by finishing as the RB17 or better in four of his six games this year.
Up next for Conner is a difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers' elite defense on Monday Night Football. While this may limit his upside a bit, his consistent contributions still make him a legitimate option to use in Week 7 fantasy football lineups.
Is J.K. Dobbins a good fantasy pick in Week 7?
J.K. Dobbins has had a frustrating career so far, mostly due to his many injuries with the Baltimore Ravens. The injuries limited him to just nine total games across the past three years, but he got a fresh start with the Los Angeles Chargers during the offseason. The switch has been beneficial to his fantasy value and he is currently ranked as the overall RB22.
The veteran will have a strong chance to keep his promising season rolling when he takes on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. They currently rank among the bottom-10 teams in rushing defense, so his role in a run-heavy offensive scheme should pay off in Week 7 fantasy football lineups.
