Pittburgh Steelers
Conner could play without practice Week 15?
RB remained out of practice Thursday with ankle injury
By: Doug Orth | Dec 13 2018, 7:25 pm

With RB James Conner still not practicing, Steelers OC Randy Fichtner said he does not believe Conner needs to practice to play Sunday vs the Patriots: "He's played a LOT." (Aditi Kinkhabwala on Twitter)

FFToday's Take: Expect this to go right down to 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 ET kickoff on Sunday. Jaylen Samuels filled in nicely for fantasy owners in PPR leagues last week, but it is clear the Steelers don't trust him to handle a very heavy load in the running game. It's entirely possible Pittsburgh keeps him active and has him share the load with Samuels in what is a highly impactful game to its playoff chances. For now, consider Conner a very risky RB2 option.
