Instant Fantasy Analysis - RB James Conner, Steelers

[The Football Guru 210]

Interesting, interesting, interesting. If Le'Veon Bell is "new school" and redefining the running back position because of his patience and footwork, then Conner is "old school" in that he is a hammer who dishes out punishment with this straight-ahead style. Conner really needs to line up seven yards in the backfield and allowed to get a head of steam built up in order to be his most effective, and Pittsburgh should allow him that opportunity on the few occasions Bell needs a breather. Conner shouldn't have much problem becoming Bell's handcuff in short order - a job description which will should make him one of the most sought-after backup running backs in fantasy.
