Should You Start or Sit James Conner in Week 12?
That’s now four straight games with a TD or 100 rushing yards as James Conner continues to fend off Father Time with reasonable levels of success (though it should be noted that none of his 159 carries have gained more than 22 yards this season).
While the splash plays haven’t been there, just about every other box is being checked.
- Four straight games with 3+ red-zone touches
- Four straight games with a 15-yard gain
- Six straight games with at least three targets
- Six games this season with at least 18 carries
Seattle’s defense has regressed in a big way since its 3-0 start and doesn’t project as the type of defense that poses a threat to slow down the momentum of a rested Conner.
