Stevan Ridley A Touchdown-Or-Bust Flex Option

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Stevan Ridley saw just five touches in Week 14, despite James Conner being inactive with a knee injury.

Jaylen Samuels Should Be Busy In Week 15

With James Conner (knee) injured, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels led his team's backfield in Week 14, handling 18 of 23 running back touches against the Oakland Raiders.

Vance McDonald Finishes With 37 Yards

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in a 24-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 14.

Stevan Ridley Has Some Flex Appeal

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without running back James Conner in Week 14, which means they are expected to turn to a committee featuring Stevan Ridley and Jaylen Samuels.
