 We have to talk about James Connor of the Steelers and you know when the season started it looks like they might get on Okay without Levy on Bell like maybe they'd be able to make do but now it's it's looking pretty apparent that they are missing Levy on Yeah, I think that's kind of a touchy subject on Twitter because a lot of people like hey running backs Don't matter and I think that my perspective in general is that's true Like I agree with you most of the time But when that running back is such an integral piece of the passing game Which is what Levy on Bell is I do think that they have a pretty decent impact And I think that James Connor we're kind of seeing the effect of that right now And it is hurting James Connor stock from a fantasy fantasy perspective His snap rate has gone down each week so far this year He played just 79% of the snaps on Sunday night. Now, that's not a bad number by any means That's a really good number for fantasy, but it's also much lower than the 100% of the running back snaps He played back in week one, so I think this is trending down there Also, just as a rusher we haven't really seen a lot of success from James Connor recently That is despite having David DeCastro and Marcus Gilbert back at right garden right tackle for this week Just a 33% success rate for James Connor so far this year the league average for running backs around 40% So he's been below average there. He's lost point one five expected points per carry Which is also well below average So I'm kind of concerned here that if James Connor Can't get those issues to correct a little bit We could see some more some more Diving up of the carries in the backfield for the stealers So I still like James Connor is an awesome matchup for this weekend They're facing Atlanta who just bleeds points is opposing running backs So I am going to use James Connor this weekend I want to be fully transparent about that But I can't do it so with as much confidence as I would have done it done a couple weeks ago Yes, James Connor is still a very good fantasy asset But based on the lack of rushing efficiency based on the decrease snap rates based on the just okay number of targets It's hard for me to feel as good about him as I did just a couple weeks ago So James Connor trending down in the sense that he's still usable But you have to temper those expectations and on Sunday He ended up with 44 yards and that would have netted you 7.9 a fantasy points on Fandall Pittsburgh as a whole just isn't looking right
