James Conner Expected To Play Against Bengals
6 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Bengals after three full practices last week. However, the team still wants to see how he does in warmups before officially making him active, according to a source. It looks like Conner will return after a three-game absence. That means that rookie Jaylen Samuels will return to more of a passing-down role, making him an RB3/flex option in PPR leagues. Conner will have RB2 upside in Week 17 if he plays.
