Steelers say RB Najee Harris needs game prep and to play

HC Mike Tomlin says Najee Harris needs the process of game prep and to ultimately play.

Related players: Kalen Ballage, Anthony McFarland, Benny Snell Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

Tomlin went on to say the team is going to make sure he participates in all preseason opportunities - whether game prep or actually playing in the game. It's hard to imagine Harris won't overtake the likes of Ballage, McFarland and Snell, but Harris is worth monitoring in preseason games to see how he progresses. Harris is ranked 13th on our RB list.

James Conner on Benny Snell Jr.: "I see a guy who has been constantly improving"

In an interview with Dale Lolley, Steelers RB James Conner commended RB Benny Snell Jr. for his Week 1 performance against the Giants. "I thought his performance was good, 100 yards, closing the game out at the end with good, hard running, falling forward," Conner said. "I see a guy who has been constantly improving. It's so cool to see."

Fantasy Impact:

Conner was being diplomatic regarding Snell's performance, but Snell did make the Steelers offense well-rounded and looked better than Conner for at least one week. Conner is questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, so it is unknown how involved Snell will be Sunday.

Bouchette: Benny Snell Jr. may push for starters role

The Athletic

Sep 17, 2020 · 2:39 PM EDT

According to The Athletic, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. may push for the starter's role when James Conner returns.

Fantasy Impact:

It is important to note that Bouchette's assertion came in the form of a reply to a 'mailbag' question. Bouchette opined that Snell could earn an expanded role if he continues to play well and Conner misses time. He would go on to state that while stealing the job outright from an injured starter is not unheard of, that he expects Conner to be the lead back upon his return. Bouchette would then add this: "If Conner is ineffective when he returns and Snell is clearly better, they’ll make the switch". This is potentially damning news for Conner's already tenuous fantasy value, as he is at his best in a high volume role. Snell is our 31st ranked running back for Week 2.

Steelers say RB James Conner is their bell cow

HC Mike Tomlin says he'll discover the division of labor for RBs week in and week out. Says his room is diverse and he wants to utilize the diversity of talent. But - "there is no question about who our bell cow is. It's James Conner and he's our primary toter."

Related players: Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr., Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

The big issue with Conner, of course, is staying healthy. Conner is ranked 15th on our RB list. The team drafted McFarland this past spring but have continued to say Conner is their guy. Most depth charts list Snell as the team's RB2, and given Conner's injury history, owning his handcuff probably isn't a bad idea.
