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.

Latest news

Jaylen Samuels had knee surgery. He will be out at least a month.

Related players: James Conner, Benny Snell Jr., Roosevelt Nix

Fantasy Impact:

Conner owners should take note, especially after Conner has been dealing with knee and ankle injuries this season. Samuels was getting more time in wildcat formation plays as of late on top of being a handcuff for Conner. Next up on the depth chart are Snell and Nix.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Los Angeles Chargers
With Mason Rudolph out and his backup Jaylen Samuels sidelined, James Conner gets to be the main man for the Steelers. And given the team has a bye next week, it wouldn't be surprising if 30 touches are in the cards here. But he'll be running into loaded boxes. As for Conner, he produced 14 carries for 55 yards last week, both season highs, but was not targeted with a pass against the Ravens. Look for at least 20 carries and more work in the passing game this week, which should make Conner an RB1 play.
