Dwyer to remain as starter -- Tue Dec 4 2:08 pm --
Steelers RB rotation should see much of the same in Week 14 | Jonathan Dwyer will stay as the Steelers starting running back. Dwyer rushed for 49 yards, on 16 carries, and a touchdown, while Isaac Redman mixed in for 43 yards on nine carries; all of this was related to Rashard Mendenhall’s status as a healthy scratch. The distribution of the workload between Dwyer and Redman should remain the same in Week 14. "Rashard will get an opportunity to redeem himself at some point ... not now," said Mike Tomlin.

FF Today's Take: Dwyer and Redman do not stand to be good fantasy plays in Week 14. The Steelers go against the Chargers in Week 14 whose defense is sixth in the NFL against the rush and allows the 13th fewest points to fantasy running backs. However, while the Chargers have been solid over the course of the year against the run, the San Diego defense merely ranks 19th against the run over the last three weeks; maybe the Chargers have completely given up. Whatever the case may be, play Jonathan Dwyer only if you are desperate.
