Steelers backfield update

[SteelersPride]

Edmunds split first team reps at practice. Be afraid

 

[femurov]

Well, that was $11 well spent on Jaylen Samuels...

 

[SteelersPride]

Wait n see as practice unfolds I think he gets the pass work and goal line

Hope so. It is a PPR league, but I have a lot of other RBs with question marks to choose from.

I’d wait n see the Thur and Friday practice reports if they r splitting bw three guys. Then yuck

aylen Samuels said he'll be the Steelers' starting running back Week 14 against the Raiders.

While Samuels will make the start, he said Stevan Ridley is expected to get the second series, and the two backs will rotate throughout the game. That may be the plan for now, but it can change Sunday depending on how Samuels and Ridley look. We still like Samuels as an upside RB2 play.

Like I said they just reported edmunds split the first team work in practice on 93.7 the fan pittsburgh.

 

[Hambombs]

Looks lik 6-8 carries maybe a little more and 4-6 catches

 

[huskers1217]

if you have to own someone. samuels especially in ppr.

I would start Blount, Justin Jackson, and Wilson Jr over any Pitt RB however.

 

[Mangler]

Should have signed Bell
































































































you do know I'm fucking kidding!

Samuels gets the start. If he handles the gameflow without any mishaps then he'll get more work. I don't know if I believe the rotation just yet. Samuels is the superior athlete and pass-catcher, so I expect him to get plenty of work.

What you really need to be concerned with is who will get the garbage carries in the 2nd half when Pittsburgh is up 35-7 after Ben has already thrown for 5 touchdowns.

and thats anyones guess.......

i see samuels getting some touches, and the passing work(which should be plentiful)
RIdley getting more rushes as a pure rusher...........
Edwards getting a few looks.........and maybe mop up dute

 

[PhilSimms11]

I have to pick two between these guys. I'm 10-3 and at worst the #2 seed heading into the playoffs week 15...so, it's not exactly do-or-die.

James White: not as productive since Michel's return. Burkhead is also back.
Gus Edwards: gets carries, but jury is still out.
Tarik Cohen: can be boom-or-bust.
Jaylen Samuels: you guys already know the story.

 

[SteelersPride]

is it ppr, if so
white and cohen

non ppr
white gus bus

non ppr
white gus bus

It's non-PPR for RB. I could use one as a flex, but I'd have to bench one of the following: Odell Beckham, Davante Adams, Eric Ebron, Tyler Boyd (or DJ Moore).

 

[SteelersPride]

so non ppr pick 2
white
gus

 

[SteelersPride]

Again not advocating any which way. Just updates.

Steelers oline talking up Ridley after practice. Comparing him to Marion the barbarian back in the Dallas days
