Why James Conner Will Remain a Top Running Back in Fantasy Football

There's some competition in the Steelers' backfield, but James Conner should be in for another big workload in 2019.

With an average draft position (ADP) that has him going off the board in the late first or early second round, James Conner presents an interesting dilemma for drafters in 2019.

Will Conner come crashing back to earth after a breakout sophomore season? Will the Pittsburgh Steelers look to lighten Conner's workload after he suffered an ankle sprain down the stretch in 2018? The answers to these questions will be key to his fantasy value this season, and will hinge on how the Steelers plan to utilize their backfield.
