Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Benny Snell Jr. led the way for the Pittsburgh Steelers backfield in Week 12 against the Bengals. He carried the ball 21 times for 98 yards while no other running back had more than six carries in the game.

Jaylen Samuels earned only two carries in the game and appears to have fallen out of favor as a primary rushing option for the team. He's been much more effective in the passing game and had three receptions for 26 yards in the game, his sixth straight game with at least three receptions, including a 13-reception game three weeks ago.

James Conner (shoulder) appears unlikely to suit up for Week 13 against the Browns, putting Snell in a great position to earn around 20 carries once again. Running backs with that heavy of a workload are a dime a dozen, making Snell worthy of adding in just about all leagues, but he's a must-add in leagues of 12 teams or deeper. He has RB2 upside this week with the potential to be a weekly contributor down the line.
