Rapoport: Steelers' James Conner (shoulder) will start but split carries

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner will start on Sunday in the team's Week 15 game against the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

What It Means:

Conner, however, will be splitting carries with Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels as a way to manage his workload, per RapSheet. The running back is coming off a three-game stint on the shelf, so the team will be easing him back to a full share of touches as the season progresses.

Our models currently project Conner for 79.3 rushing yards, 32.9 receiving yards, 0.7 total touchdowns and 17.3 FanDuel points.
