Benny Snell Jr.

Snell has had some instances of being relevant for fantasy over the past couple of years, but the drafting of Najee Harris in the first round sends Snell to the bench. He'll see some carries here or there in relief of the rookie, but it's not going to be enough to put him anywhere near the redraft radar. He's worth going after on the waiver wire if something happens to Harris, but otherwise it's probably best to let him clog up someone else's bench in your league.

Benny Snell Jr. could be on the hot seat in Pittsburgh

Steelers RB Benny Snell is facing stiff competition for the backup role and could end up a cut candidate in the near future.

Fantasy Impact

Snell was allowed to take the lead back role in Pittsburgh in 2020 with James Conner sidelined with injuries but could never really take advantage. However, with the drafting of Najee Harris and the signing of journeyman Kalen Ballage, Snell aims to prove he's more than "just a guy" heading into training camp. Whether it be Snell or Ballage, the handcuff to Harris will be a valuable insurance policy for fantasy managers in 2021.
