The Pittsburgh Steelers are once again staring at the potential of not having top running back James Conner in a key late-season matchup.
In Week 15, the Steelers face a tall task against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, and Conner remains the main talking point currently.
Along with that, for Conner and Samuels/Ridley, I’ll dive into the fantasy football matchup and outlook for the two this week, regardless of how the injury situation plays out.
As NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala revealed, Fichtner made it known Conner does not need to practice in order to play against the Patriots.
After all, each game moving forward is vital for the team’s playoff outlook , and if they slip up and fall behind the Ravens, they’d be battling to even make the postseason.
On the opposite side of that, a win over the Patriots would not only boost their playoff chances but potentially put them in position to jump up the standings.
