Depth/upside bet — RB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
WatchConner ran for 95 yards and caught 8 passes in 2025, finishing RB79. He scored about 20% less than his touches said he should. RB11 slipped to RB79 last year; that's the warning. 2025 stopped at 3 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
