Tomlin and staff have come out and said they will give Conner three down back duties to start the season. If he stays healthy enough for 13-14 games do you think he is a top 10 RB?

Top 5 if healthy with Big Ben.

Disclaimer: I am biased on this subject.

I foolishly drafted Conner in the first round last year. He was never worth it, even when healthy. I realize the Steelers were in a bad way last year, but I think there are 10 or 12, maybe even 15 running backs in the league who will have a better year than Conner.

Yeah I was skeptical. But with such a drop off after the first 10-11 backs, he looked good at pick #28 in a 12 team standard. But I agree, it’s a gamble.

This is definitely a sleeper pick that could blow up. Risk reward type pick. I’d take him in the 3rd round as my RB2 if things shake out right.

I took Carson over Connor, but if the OL is improved and he can stay healthy he will put up numbers.

There is zero chance he stays healthy.

Somehow he fell to me at 55 and Cam Akers at 66. Im optimistic one of them can end up a Top 10-15 back. I think you can expect it if James Conner is getting a majority of the touches. I read he came into camp in phenomenal shape
