James Conner, running back for the Steelers, has had season that only he may have expected to have. With Steeler's star running back Le'Veon Bell, continuing to hold out as a result of this being his contract season, Conner has done nothing but reaped the benefits. Through 9 weeks, James Conner is ranked 5th overall in Fan Pt. which is a result of him rushing for 850 yards while scoring 9 Touchdowns in just 9 weeks. However, this young running back may find himself back on the bench with Bell scheduled to return for the Steeler's week ten match up against the Panthers. However, most analysis still believe that at least for the Carolina game, Conner will be the number 1, while Bell is working in touches trying to get back in stride of things. this is evident in Conner's projections for the next two weeks, next week Connor is projected for 22.02 Fan Pts. while Bell is only projected 9.12, while the following week when he Steelers playing the Jacksonville Jaguars, Conner is only projected 9.89 Fan Pts. while Bell is projected 15.52. It will be interesting to see how the Steelers handle their surplus of talent at the running back position in the weeks to come. If there is one thing that we do know even if Conner takes a back seat to bell, he proved his worth in the weeks where he played and because of this i could see Connor being a force in the NFL if not on the Steelers then on any team that would take him.
