6 years agoWith 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. Provided Conner is ruled out again in Week 15, look for Samuels to lead the way against the New England Patriots. The Patriots have struggled to contain opposing running backs this season, ranking 21st in run defense DVOA and allowing the 16th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Treat Samuels as a high-end RB2 as long as Conner doesn't suit up. On platforms where Samuels is tight end-eligible, such as Yahoo, treat him as a top-five option at that position.--Matt T - RotoBaller
