Fantasy Alert: James Conner Unlikely to Play vs. Rams Because of Shoulder Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is reportedly unlikely to play Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams because of a shoulder injury.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported the news.

With Le'Veon Bell engaged in what proved to be a season-long holdout, Conner became the Steelers' primary call-carrier in 2018. He gained 1,470 yards from scrimmage and caught 13 touchdowns en route to his first Pro Bowl.

The third-year star has struggled to reach that level again in 2019. He has run for 380 yards and four touchdowns on 97 carries while catching 29 passes for 236 yards and two scores.
