At first glance, it looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers have a very crowded and talented running back depth chart. However, upon further examination, you have a lot of guys with the potential to be good, perhaps not great and a wide variety of running styles. How the workload shakes out and which back or backs step up this season remains to be seen. But here are our predictions for how the numbers work out this season.
James Conner
Conner will be the starting back on paper but look for the Steelers coaches to spread things around more this season to try to keep him healthy.
165 carries 660 rushing yards 8 rushing touchdowns
32 receptions 279 receiving yards 3 receiving touchdowns
