Felix Jones

Steelers cut Jonathan Dwyer

The Steelers released Jonathan Dwyer Saturday, eight days after they traded for former Cowboys first-rounder-turned-castoff Felix Jones. Pittsburgh gave Jones plenty of work in the final two preseason games and apparently he did enough to earn a roster spot -- at Dwyer's expense.

Dwyer, the former sixth-round pick of of Georgia Tech, arrived at training camp 20 pounds lighter, and looked impressive during the preseason. But the Steelers drafted Le'Veon Bell in the second round of the April draft, and even though he's sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a mid-foot sprain, coach Mike Tomlin felt good enough about Isaac Redman, LaRod Stephens-Howlingand Felix Jones to move forward without Dwyer.

Fantasy Impact: 

This is a somewhat surprising move considering Bell is still on the shelf, but the team apparently tired of Dwyer's attitude and liked Jones enough to make the move. This might also bode well for Bell, who is already out of his walking boot.

Felix Jones

Isaac Redman likely to start for Steelers

As expected Isaac Redman, not Jonathan Dwyer, will be starting RB for Steelers if LeVeon Bell doesn't play opening week.

Fantasy Impact: 

Redman (stinger) will sit out third straight preseason game. HC Mike Tomlin plans to look at Jonathan Dwyer, LaRod Stephens-Howling, Felix Jones. He added that the team knows what it will get from Redman and he wanted to look at the other backs. Redman likely won't carry a full load and this could be another committee situation until Bell is back.

Isaac Redman

Steelers RB Isaac Redman moved ahead of Jonathan Dwyer ...

Steelers RB Isaac Redman moved ahead of Jonathan Dwyer on the depth chart, in part, because Dwyer reported for spring practices weighing an estimated 260 pounds. He is down about 25 pounds after HC Mike Tomlin expressed considerable disappointment with his conditioning.

Dwyer is the team's leading rusher with 83 yards on 20 carries in two preseason games, including 68 yards against the Redskins.

Fantasy Impact: 

Dwyer looked pretty shifty on Monday night while Redman sat out with a stinger. It remains to be seen how the team will split up the touches while Le'Veon Bell is sidelined. This could devolve into an ugly RBBC.

Steelers believe Le'Veon Bell has Lisfranc injury, may avoid surgery

Steelers believe Le'Veon Bell has Lisfranc injury. They are hoping will not require surgery but won't be sure until he gets it double checked.

Adam Schefter added: "Steelers rookie RB Le'Veon Bell is expected to be out six weeks with a Lisfranc injury."

Fantasy Impact: 

Ouch. This is very bad news for Bell owners. Six weeks doesn't completely kill his value, and depending on the discount, he may be worth a later pick. Isaac Redman was running ahead of Jonathan Dwyer for most of camp, but Dwyer looked good on Monday night while Redman sat out with a stinger. This could devolve into a RBBC with Dwyer, Redman and LaRod Stephens-Howling in on third downs. Dwyer and Redman are only worth late-round fliers until we get more clarity on the pecking order. We've moved Bell down to #49 in standard formats, but will revisit his projection as more information becomes available.
