chargahs 243 Posted October 20, 2019 something tells me that Samuels is going to win some championships this season. Conner banged up, Snell is a snail. Jaylen has the skill set to be a legit bell cow running back in this league given the opportunity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJoint 3,934 Posted October 20, 2019 Snell has 2 weeks to show something (this bye week will be the 2nd of 4 originally diagnosed weeks Samuel needs to to rehab). If he does, it will diminish Samuel's role significantly once he comes back in supposedly 2 weeks. People writing Snell off need to watch closely starting week 8. He's never had extended reps and if Conner stays healthy he still won't, which would ensure Samuel remains the cuff. Problem is Conner seems to sustain an injury ever single game so far. I have only an incomplete impression of Snell's ability at this point. Not ready to make my mind up one way or the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is basically Jordan howard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard is a solid back. If he truly is as good as Howard he'll be fine in PIT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard is about as meh as it gets. Like a Legarrette Blount type. If you give him frequent goalline opportunities and giant holes and a great supporting passing game then he's your man.

3FLi 101 Posted October 21, 2019 Does Jaylen have legit potential behind him when he comes back? Considering dropping Henderson and stashing Jaylen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHO_NO_1 0 Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) @3FLiI believe he's one of the most valuable handcuffs you can have on your roster. If you're talking about starting him, the only way I do that is if I need a bye week filler or if I have no depth at RB position. I would throw him in thinking he'll get me 4-6 pts (.5 pt ppr in my league), but with the hope of him being in the right play at the right time and snagging a TD. Conner is injury prone. I would keep him on my roster even if I don't own Conner. Edited October 24, 2019 by SHO_NO_1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabrini 131 Posted October 24, 2019 Ahead of schedule (RotoWire) Samuels (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Analysis: When Samuels underwent a scope on his right knee earlier this month, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that he would be sidelined until November. The running back has changed that narrative coming off a Week 7 bye, however, as coach Mike Tomlin indicated that Samuels' ability to take all the reps during Thursday's session now likely sets him up to play Monday against the Dolphins "at least in a partial capacity," per Varley. James Conner (quadriceps) is also healthy again and is expected to fill his usual duties as the lead back in Week 8, so the Steelers can afford to take it easy on Samuels in his first game back if they so choose.

PlayTheWaivers 1,849 Posted October 25, 2019 How we doing? Full participant and against the 'fins....James Conner is a bit banged up- could be a 50-50 split at best? I'm thinking of putting him in the flex and hoping for the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjm76 753 Posted October 25, 2019 I think that if Conner misses any games, it would be a split with both Samuels and Benny Snell getting carries. Not sure that Samuels is really one of the top handcuffs anymore after Snell did well when Samuels was injured. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure that Samuels is really one of the top handcuffs anymore after Snell did well when Samuels was injured. That's my take. I don't understand anything other than that when Snell proved he can be effective between the tackles. Why would he sit on the bench after what he just did?

Back on the Samuels train - amazing quick recovery and Snell did not do enough to take the #2 job imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdpat15 258 Posted October 26, 2019 Samuels still has to hold some value right? I think he can still be a flex some games even with Conner in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
