Only HAVE to start 2, but my WR flex options aren't all that great anyway (Lamb and Jeudy) and get worse if Cooks can't go next week. My 10-3 team isn't looking like such a great bet anymore. Thanks a lot 2020. Ha. Have Gaskin as well and was hoping to ride him instead of Conner. Nope. And watch Ahmed and/or Breida come back and screw up any DWash value.

Conner was tremendously ineffective Sunday night against Buffalo, carrying the ball 10 times for 18 yards. No running back is going to have much upside in a Steelers offense that passes on nearly 64 percent of its plays, the sixth highest rate in the league. But Benny Snell would be a worthwhile waiver add this week if Conner misses practice time. If Conner plays, he'll be a low-end RB2 in Week 15 against the Bengals.

That leaves Mooney as my next best option. (Fortunately I rolled out Henry and Waller last night so I need to focus on floor, not ceiling in this slot.)

Faust Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Quote James Conner (quad) is questionable for Week 15 against the Bengals. The Steelers limited Conner's practice reps this week but he's now on track to play. Conner had just 10 carries last week and is at risk of an in-game setback, but he's a low-end RB2 against a Bengals defense that's allowing 4.9 YPC.

Godsbrother Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The problem is if the Steelers do happen to get up by a couple scores and want to try to run the ball there is a good chance they'll do it with Snell since Conner is banged up. Snell is also the goal line back (even though he doesn't score much he is a vulture). Seriously Snell might be a better play 😨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLEF316 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) yeah, I just can't risk it today. I had to start SOMEONE at my 2nd RB spot, so I swallowed hard and put Singletary in last night. Obviously got really lucky with the long garbage time TD, so I'm gonna count my blessings and plug in someone safer at Flex today. (probably Lamb, although he's obviously no sure bet either) Its a juicy potential matchup, but I dont think I can survive a 9 carry for 22 yard performance.

Faust Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Twenty-Four Eighty-Four said: James Conner is OUT tonight. Rotoworld take: Quote ESPN's Adam Schefter reports James Conner (quad) won't play in Week 15 against the Bengals. Benny Snell will likely get the start, but rookie Anthony McFarland and Jaylen Samuels are expected to be involved, too. Snell totaled 24/65 rushing and 5/38 receiving in two spot-starts for Conner earlier this month, failing to score on seven opportunities inside the 10-yard line. He has an enticing ceiling since he'll continue handling goal-line work, but fantasy players should temper their expectations given Snell's sluggish profile. It's a concerning outlook for Conner ahead of free agency.

But damn was I swayed by Matt Waldman's preseason love for Conner. I’m right there with you. I totally bought in to Waldman’s analysis as well. And I will continue to value his opinions on RBs regardless as In my opinion he is the best in the biz when it comes to the position. To be fair, the idea that the Steelers of all teams would morph into this finesse dink and dunk passing team with no interest in running the ball was completely unforeseeable. Not that Connor helped his case, but this clearly hindered him. Bottom line is this Steelers offense has been figured out and in a tail spin. I’m not going anywhere near their backfield next year unless there are some serious changes in offensive philosophy and/or Ben is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faust Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Quote Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said James Conner (quad) could be available for Week 16 against the Colts. Tomlin said he was "impressed" by Benny Snell, who excelled with Conner sidelined Monday night against the Bengals. Snell turned 18 carries into 84 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals' middling rush defense. There isn't a whole lot of fantasy upside to be had in the Pittsburgh backfield since the team is among the pass heaviest in the NFL this season. A full complement of snaps for Conner in Week 16 would make him a back-end RB2 play. Fantasy managers should hang on to Snell for now.

I don't see Conner as an option this week. You have to think if Conner is active, Snell still gets some work. I actually dropped Conner and picked up Snell. Snell possibly playable if Conner ruled out. Still, the matchup isn't great at all and the PIT offense is floundering. Only way I'm playing either is if other options come up lame in practice or something. Starting Wilson, E. Sanders, and AB over all of them. If push came to shove I bet I'd start R. Higgins over both as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about maximizing that RB 2 / Flex spot with players trending up with decent matchups, etc. Snell back in FA this week.

kyoun1e Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 JAMES CONNERRB, PITTSBURGH STEELERS James Conner (quad) is practicing in full for Week 16 against the Colts. Conner has seemed to be running on fumes when active in the second half of the season, but the Steelers' offense needs all the help it can get right now. That being said, Benny Snell was one of the only functional parts of the Steelers' Week 15 attack, so it should not be assumed that Conner will simply slide back in as the uncontested lead back. At least as of Thursday, he has the feel of a low-upside FLEX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I've noticed these past few weeks that FBGs is reacting slower in terms of real time news and updating rankings. Don't know if its Dodds checking out already and not updating his forecasts as frequently or general malaise as the season wears on or simply general cadence of updates not keeping up to news, but they still have McKissik as a top 15 option this week as Gibson practices (though limited) and Snell as a top 20 option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
