Fantasy Impact:
McFarland Jr. was drafted in the fourth-round out of Maryland and is expected to be eased into the offense. If he has a concussion, he may get off to an even slower start this season. His absence probably doesn’t have an effect on the Pittsburgh backfield at this point as it looks like James Conner is the primary ballcarrier with Benny Snell being his direct backup.
