Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer is expected to be the new feature back, according to the Tribune-Review.Dwyer will get the start after a disastorous game against the Browns that saw all three backs fumble the ball. Rashard Mendenhall was demoted to No. 3 on the depth chart behind Isaac Redman.
Jonathan Dwyer to remain feature back for now: Fantasy implications
Coach Mike Tomlin is expected to keep using Jonathan Dwyer as a primary back after a turnover-filled mess on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Justin K. Aller
Dwyer has been the least-bad back out of the group, with 98 carries for 429 yards on the season.
Fantasy Impact: The Steelers backfield has been a complete mess this year with injuries and poor play, and things probably won’t improve even if Mike Tomlin sticks to his word and feeds Dwyer the ball.
The entire Steelers offense should be hands-off in fantasy leagues until Ben Roethlisberger comes back.
