Scouting report

PIT RB James Conner - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Ravens

Conner's touchdown streak came to an end in Week 7, but he still cracked 100 total yards for the fourth time this season. Conner missed the Week 17 game against the Ravens last season but scored in the previous two games with Baltimore. Good chance he does so again this time around as Pittsburgh tries to build some separation in the AFC North.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Titans

Conner helped the Steelers control their Week 6 game against the Browns with 20 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown. It was his third 100-yard game of the season and fourth straight game with a touchdown. Tennessee is also allowing 137 rushing yards per game and four rushing touchdowns. It's a good bet that Conner continues 100 yards and/or a touchdown.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs Browns

Conner has now scored in three straight games, though his streak of back to back 100-yard games came to an end against the Eagles. Cleveland has been pretty tough against opposing running backs, but Conner is enough of a strong back that he's still a good play in what has become a huge AFC North showdown in Week 6.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs Eagles

James Conner has taken back complete control of the Steelers' backfield. He has lines of 16-106-1 and 18-109-1 in his last two games before the unexpected bye week. Conner also say his highest number of passing targets in Week 3 with five and caught four of them for 40 yards. Conner sits just outside the top 12 this week at No. 14 among running backs. The Eagles are also in the bottom half of fantasy points per game allowed to running backs.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Texans

Looks like the injury didn't bother Conner as much as we initially thought. He only went out and rushed 16 times for 106 yards and a touchdown. Conner saw 50 snaps in Week 2, Benny Snell saw ten. This backfield belongs to Conner. Houston has also been among the teams allowing the most points to fantasy running backs (propped up by Clyde Edwards-Helaire's big debut). Conner is back in RB2 territory as our RB15 this week.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs Broncos

The injury concerns already reared their ugly heads with James Conner. He left Monday's win over the Giants with an ankle injury. He missed practice Wednesday but did return to practice in full Thursday, which is a good sign. Watch for the injury report from Pittsburgh on Friday but Conner now stands to lose work to Benny Snell, who had a very fine day off the bench against the Giants. The running back situation in Pittsburgh has already become clogged. Conner is our RB49 this week.

PIT RB James Conner - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Head coach Mike Tomlin recently gave a vote of confidence for James Conner, saying "there is no question about who our bell cow is. It's James Conner and he's our primary toter." The Steelers will sprinkle in Benny Snell, Anthony McFarland and Jaylen Samuels, but this is Conner's job again. He is our No. 13 back this week and the only Steelers running back inside our top 50.
