4 years agoPittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is eligible to come off of the league's reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday but he is still unlikely to play against the Washington Football Team on Monday evening, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Conner's expected absence means that the team will plug Benny Snell Jr. in as their lead back for Week 13. Snell saw the majority of the running back touches in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens and finished with 93 all-purpose yards. His Week 13 matchup against Washington is a tough one but he can still be started as an RB3/flex option in fantasy. Fantasy gamers might get Conner back in Week 14, provided his recovery from the virus goes smoothly.--Matt T - RotoBaller
