Three days before the regular season and the Pittsburgh Steelers still have a mess at running back. The latest news comes from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where there are still concerns over Isaac Redman's ankle. He was listed as a full participant in practice, but so was Rashard Mendenhall despite admitting to doing very little practice. Baron Batch was held out of practice altogether, leaving the Steelers down to two healthy RBs for Sunday night: Jonathan Dwyer and Chris Rainey.
Steelers RB Situation Too Murky For Any Fantasy Value
The Steelers are still trying to figure out their RB situation for Sunday night. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: Mendenhall is still not expected back any time soon, and while Redman should be active Sunday, he’s far from a sure thing. Dwyer will probably get the majority of snaps in Week 1, making him the best fantasy candidate by default, but you should really just avoid this unit altogether for the time being.
