Rapoport: Steelers RB James Conner likely OUT Week 15

Dec 15, 2018

Steelers RB James Conner, listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is unlikely to play vs. the #Patriots, source said. He should be good to go Week 16, though.

The Steelers downgraded Conner to doubtful Saturday afternoon.

Related player: Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

Samuels should step back into a high volume role that should again make him an upside RB2 in Week 15.

Steelers have signed QB Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for 2021.

Fantasy Impact:

It's highly unlikely we'll see a return to prior 2019 form for Ben Roethlisberger, but he remains the starter in Pittsburgh for 2021. Even without JuJu Smith-Schuster if he decides to sign elsewhere, the 39-year old QB does have plenty of surrounding offensive weapons and should be considered a QB2 heading into this season.

Giants released WR Golden Tate, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Last year wasn't the best for Golden Tate, who put up a 35-388-2 line for the Giants in 12 games. The 32-year old will look to get a gig with another NFL team, most likely a one-year deal.

The Saints have officially released TE Jared Cook and TE Josh Hill. The Cook move is procedural, as he was scheduled to be a free agent at the start of the new league year.

Fantasy Impact:

Jared Cook will be 34 at the start of the 2021 season and may have some trouble finding a starting gig, but does still have some playmaking abilities. Josh Hill could find work in the blocking department for a team this season, after spending all his eight-year career with the Saints. For now, Adam Trautman assumes the starting role in New Orleans at TE.
