Benny Snell Jr. Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (oblique) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, while running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) popped up on the injury report after putting in a limited practice. Harris picked up an oblique injury that isn't considered serious in Monday night's win over the Indianapolis Colts, but he's looking very iffy for Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Falcons. Snell and Anthony McFarland Jr. combined to split the backfield work on Monday when Harris departed. Rookie Jaylen Warren (hamstring) was inactive in Week 12 and has been cleared to return this weekend, so if Harris is out, there's a good chance that Warren will lead Pittsburgh's backfield this Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. saw his first action of the season in a Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, rushing 12 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while adding a six-yard reception on Monday night. Snell was originally expected to serve as the backup to Najee Harris with Jaylen Warren (hamstring) inactive, but Harris wound up leaving shortly before halftime with an abdominal injury, forcing Snell into the lead-back role. Snell would set up as a mid-range RB3 against the Atlanta Falcons if Harris and/or Warren do not suit up. This is a situation to monitor throughout the week as the Steelers gear up to head down to Atlanta for Sunday's game.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. carried the ball 12 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while adding a six-yard reception in a 24-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Snell saw his first touches of the season with Jaylen Warren (hamstring) inactive and Najee Harris leaving the game at the end of the first half with an abdominal injury. Warren's status for Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons is unclear but this has the potential to be a messy three-man committee in Pittsburgh with Snell and Anthony McFarland Jr. all in line to possibly see touches if Harris isn't able to suit up. Stay tuned to the injury statuses of both Harris and Warren heading into Week 13.
