Draft note

by John Paulsen

Conner’s stock rose after the Steelers didn’t really invest much capital into the running back position in the Draft, coming away with fourth-rounder Anthony McFarland. The Steelers are still referring to Conner as their lead back, and when he’s been healthy, he has averaged 18.3 touches for 95 yards and 0.87 touchdowns. The resulting 16.4 PPG (half-PPR) would have tied Austin Ekeler for the seventh-highest average at his position last season. Conner hasn’t proven that he can stay healthy, missing nine games over the last two seasons, so owners should handcuff Benny Snell, if possible.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) took full practice reps again Friday. Conner will play against Denver, who contained Derrick Henry for the most part. His workload is murky after he left Week 1 and Benny Snell ran very well. Instead of a high end RB2, Conner will be a RB3-type this week.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Titans

Conner helped the Steelers control their Week 6 game against the Browns with 20 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown. It was his third 100-yard game of the season and fourth straight game with a touchdown. Tennessee is also allowing 137 rushing yards per game and four rushing touchdowns. It's a good bet that Conner continues 100 yards and/or a touchdown.
