James Conner Returns To Full Practice
4 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (quadriceps) and offensive guard Kevin Dotson (shoulder) were full participants in practice on Wednesday. Conner sat out of the Monday night loss to the Bengals in Week 15 but appears to be on track for a return in Week 16 against the Colts and their tough defense. Benny Snell Jr. was the main back against Cincinnati and had his best game of the season, but he shouldn't be trusted as a flex with fantasy championships on the line if Conner is active this weekend. Pittsburgh's offense has been in a free fall during their three-game losing streak, so it's hard to expect too much from any of their offensive skill players. Even though Indy's D has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to RBs in the last five weeks, Conner should be seen as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex if he plays.
