Steelers RB James Conner (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday. The full reps indicate that Conner is on pace to return this week against the Bills. Buffalo's rush defense has improved in recent week, but Conner looks like an RB2 if he returns to his old role in the backfield.

Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Samuels looks very iffy for Week 15, which enhances James Conner's outlook since Benny Snell is not much of a pass-catcher.

Tomlin: Jaylen Samuels has a groin injury.

Related players: Benny Snell, James Conner, Trey Edmunds, Kerrith Whyte.

Fantasy Impact:

Conner has a chance to play this week. But, if Samuels nor Conner can go, look for Snell to get a bulk of the work on early downs with possibly Edmunds getting action on passing downs. Whyte could also be involved. A lot will need to be sorted out for those with Steeler RBs.

Steelers RB James Conner says he will not play Sunday against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

Benny Snell is now set for yet another day as the featured back with Conner’s shoulder continuing to bother him and no timetable for his return. Snell rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Browns, a week after going for 98 in Week 12.

No clarity for Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, RB James Conner for Week 14

HC Mike Tomlin says no clarity yet on James Conner or JuJu Smith-Schuster. Said both are questionable to play this week against Cardinals.

Related players: Benny Snell, Jaylen Samuels, James Washington, Dionte Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

Tomlin said he saw both guys in training room Monday and added Conner has chance to practice Wednesday. Snell would be another decent play if Conner misses time with Samuels likely getting the pass-catching duties in the workload split. Meanwhile at WR, Washington went for a 4-111-6 line last week and would make for a solid start in Week 14.
