Benny Snell Jr. Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed eight times for just 12 yards, while also catching two of three targets for 23 yards in Thursday's final preseason game against the Panthers. Snell Jr., the rookie out of Kentucky, has received 28 carries this preseason and has earned just 54 yards. He's more of a bruiser than incumbent backup Jaylen Samuels, but his lack of production in the preseason has to make the team question his readiness for the NFL. Snell Jr. is a solid dynasty option due to Pittsburgh's offensive prowess, but his first taste of the NFL hasn't been as impressive as some other rookies in the league.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. (groin) didn't appear in Sunday night's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. Snell suffered a groin injury in last week's preseason game against the Chiefs and he did not practice all week. The rookie out of Kentucky has rushed for 42 yards on 20 carries through his first two career NFL games. As a third-round pick, his spot should be safe on the roster, but he won't have much value on the team unless something were to happen to either James Conner or Jaylen Samuels. He is merely a dynasty stash for the time being.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught two passes for five yards in Saturday's 17-7 win over Kansas City. The 2019 fourth-round pick is getting a strong look this preseason as the team knows what to expect from incumbent James Conner and Jaylen Samuels. Snell Jr. is Kentucky's all-time leading rusher so his talent is undeniable, but it might be awhile before he gets a solid workload in Pittsburgh. He has solid dynasty value but can be forgotten about in redraft, unless something were to happen to Conner or Samuels.
