James Conner

Last week, the Cardinals were getting blown out, and Conner only played 42% of the snaps. I don't think that's indicative of his role. In his previous two games, he averaged 66% of the snaps with 16 touches and 68 total yards per game. Conner ranks ninth in explosive run rate and fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt. The volume of previous seasons has not been there this year. Conner has only one game this season with at least 20 carries. Conner is in for a long day in Week 13. Since Week 7, the Steelers have allowed the seventh-lowest explosive run rate and rushing yards per game while also holding backs to the 13th-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2/3
