James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried the ball 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in a 38-7 win over Cleveland in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact

Conner added a one-yard reception in the win. The veteran runner has now scored a touchdown in four straight games for the Steelers. Seemingly over a Week 1 ankle injury, Conner is on the RB1/RB2 borderline going forward. He will be an excellent option in Week 7 against Tennessee.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried the ball 15 times for 44 yards and a touchdown in a 39-28 win over the Eagles in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact

Conner also chipped in three receptions for 19 yards. He has now found the end zone in three straight contests as he continues to pay off for fantasy gamers. Conner will be a solid RB2 in Week 6 against the Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried the ball 18 times for 109 yards and a touchdown while adding four receptions for 40 yards in a 28-21 win over Houston in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

Conner came up big, finding the end zone for the second straight game. Fantasy gamers who rostered Conner were panicking after his Week 1 ankle injury but he has paid off handsomely over the past two weeks. He will be a low-end RB1 in Week 4 against Tennessee.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner carried the ball 16 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in a 26-21 win over the Broncos in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

Conner also added two receptions for 15 yards. Most of his production came on a 59-yard run but it was encouraging that he operated as the team's clear lead back, even after Benny Snell's strong performance last week. Conner is back to being a solid RB2 in fantasy and should be treated as such in Week 3 against Houston.

Steelers RB James Conner (ankle) is not on the final injury report heading into Week 2, so he’ll be good to go for their game against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

There’s no telling how head coach Mike Tomlin plans to split up the work between Conner and Benny Snell Jr., but it’ll likely be some sort of time-share based on his comments during the week regarding Snell’s opportunities moving forward. This doesn’t bode well for fantasy owners, as it’ll be tough to rely on either Conner or Snell given they could each take away snaps from the other guy.
