Who is the RB to own in Pitt?

quote:

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner will not play in the team's Sunday game against the Oakland Raiders, coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday.

Tomlin said Conner has a sprained ankle and that it's more significant that originally thought. Conner was hurt in the fourth quarter against the Chargers two days ago.

The team also announced that running back Trey Edmunds was promoted to the 53-man roster, and placed receiver Justin Hunter on the Reserve/Injured List.

How you go from a bruise to a sprained ankle overnight?

I am on the waiver for Samuel but Tomlin has claimed he wants to go "running back by committee " fml

Is there any chance whatsoever that Yahoo will take the TE designation off of Samuel?

With Conner out I guess I’m gonna move Ingram into RB2 and flex either DJ Moore @ CLE or Gore vs NE. Any thoughts?

Samuels was snatched up off waivers halfway through the season.

Thankfully I've got a bye this week and then Lindsay, who's been sitting on my bench, available after that if needed

That DR guy on Twitter was right! He kept saying high ankle sprain, and everyone else was saying “no that’s a leg contusion”. Turned out it was an ankle sprain after all

If it is indeed a high ankle sprain Conner could be done until the Playoffs. And by playoffs I mean the NFL playoffs, not fantasy playoffs

Personally, I 100% don't expect Conner back for fantasy this season. Obviously every sprain is different, but high ankle sprains are a bitch.

Why has Lindsay been sitting on your bench?

Might only be able to start 2 RBs. I can only start two and have Kamara/Conner so Lindsay has been on my bench. He's outscored both the past 3 weeks though.

Its down to Samuels, Justin Jackson or Jeff Wilson Jr.

Not really sure who has the best chance of scoring this weekend.

So it’s Wilson, Samuels then Jackson in order? Jackson has upside but Ekeler is still getting carriers. The Pittsburgh situation isn’t ideal either with Ridley back there as well.
