Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman struggled in a timeshare against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. The two combined for 77 yards rushing on 27 carries during the overtime win.
Fantasy Impact: Tomlin and others around the Steelers’ organizations have repeatedly hinted that Mendenhall will be the team’s starting running back as soon as he is healthy enough to return. When that will happen is a mystery at this point, however.
Keep a sharp eye on injury reports this week if you think you may need Mendenhall this week. The matchup is a good one on paper, though the Steelers will certainly be getting the Ravens’ A-game. You may want to avoid Mendenhall as a fantasy option just as a precaution even if he is marked active at game-time.
