The Pittsburgh Steelers got their first win of the season by defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 27-3 on Monday night, and they did so behind running back James Conner's best performance.
Conner led Steelers rushers with 42 yards on 10 carries and also led Steelers receivers with 83 yards and a touchdown on eight catches, which gave new perspective to his viability in fantasy.

Fellow Pittsburgh running back Jaylen Samuels threw his hat in the fantasy ring, too, with 26 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries paired with 57 receiving yards on eight catches.
