Draft note

by John Paulsen

In 13 games as the lead back last season, Conner turned 20.8 touches into 113.1 yards and 1.0 touchdown per game, resulting in the No. 8 per game average in half-PPR formats. The only question heading into 2019 is his workload. There have been rumblings that the Steelers plan to spread the ball around to their other backs, namely Jaylen Samuels (who is a very good receiver) and rookie Benny Snell, who may spell Conner on early downs. Conner is still deserving of a pick in the late first round, but his workload is not a given.

Steelers lose QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB James Conner in Week 2

yesterday · 5:03 PM EDT

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their starting quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger suffered an injury to his throwing arm toward the end of the first half against the Seattle Seahawks.

During the fourth quarter, running back James Conner limped off the field and went into the medical tent.

Related players: Mason Rudolph, Jaylen Samuels, Benny Snell Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

No update was given on either player the story said. Roethlisberger appeared to injure is right elbow. Conner appeared to be holding his left knee. He did not return with a knee injury. Rudolph would take over if Ben can't go Week 3, while Samuels and Snell would battle it out for touches in the backfield.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Seattle Seahawks
James Conner got just 10 carries for 21 yards last week but salvaged the day with four catches for 44 yards. Offensive coordinator Randy admitted he probably got away from using Conner too early in the loss to the Patriots, so look for that to change this week, even though the Seahawks did a nice job last week shutting down the Bengals' running game. Conner should get between 15-20 touches in this game, including in the passing game, making him a low-end RB1 play this week in a tough matchup.
