With James Conner suffering an ankle injury early in the game, the Pittsburgh Steelers' Benny Snell Jr. took on an expanded role during Monday night's opener against the New York Giants—and fantasy football managers likely took notice.
Conner, who missed time because of a shoulder injury in 2019, saw limited action after getting banged-up in the second quarter. His absence last year gives fantasy managers a good idea of what to expect from Pittsburgh's backfield.
Snell ran for 426 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games as a rookie.
