James Conner Up In The Air For Week 12
5 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner's (shoulder) AC joint injury isn't any worse than it was when he left last Thursday's game against the Browns, according to a source. However, his status for Week 12 against the Bengals is up in the air and will depend on how he feels this weekend. Conner will likely be questionable to play this Sunday, but he'll at least be a low-end RB1 in an excellent matchup if he is active and doesn't suffer an in-game setback. Jaylen Samuels is Conner's handcuff and needs to be owned just in case Conner is held out in Week 12. Samuels would have RB2 upside, mainly as a pass-catcher, if he goes into that one as the team's lead back.
