He does have upside and will probably get half the carries and some catches on third downs. AP might be victim of game script. I would worry GB gets up early and takes him out of the game. I wouldn’t gamble on Ruggs since I’ve been burned in the past on gimpy players on Monday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not ... but it seems that would lock in a certain "floor" of stats from the two positions. Staring this in the face right now. With WR injuries (Golladay, N. Harry, D. Samuel), my only other flex options are Joshua Kelley, Paris Campbell, or Latavius Murray . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have upside and will probably get half the carries and some catches on third downs. I've been wavering all morning ... but in the end, I'm going to trot out Conner over Snell, and let Paris Campbell man the flex. I don't know the details besides Von Miller's injury, but one of CBS's prognosticators is talking about how depleted overall Denver's defense is right now. Combining this info with what JohnnyU wrote above, which I found convicing: that Conner knows he's got to make a statement today and grab onto the lead back role with both hands (if he can). And so far, as another data point, Conner has shown to be more effective in the passing game than Snell -- thus more opportunities for touches.At the moment, it doesn't look for sure that Snell is in a position to dictate his own narrative. What I mean by that is that Snell is kind of depending on Conner to underperform, and then for Tomlin to make the switch. Not that Snell won't get carries mixed in -- the question is more "Will Snell get enough work over Conner to be startable in FF?" I'm not in best-ball, so I have to make a call -- Conner over Snell today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' The August buzz from Steelers training camp was a narrative that Conner was seen as the bell cow running back with the lion’s share of the touches belonging to him; however, his week 1 injury has opened the door to the narrative that the Steelers want to see him play through minor injuries, and if he can’t do this then a timeshare is on the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
