Running Backs James Conner FD 6900 DK 6800 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 12.73 DK - 14 Much to our chagrin, Conner has practiced in full this week, which takes Benny Snell Jr. out of lineup consideration, unfortunately. Miles Sanders FD 6800 DK 6000 Opponent LAR Proj Points FD - 12.84 DK - 14.22 Like Conner, Sanders has been practicing in full, and claims that he is 100% going into this week's match-up with the Rams.

Phillip Lindsay FD 5000 DK 5100 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Lindsay has been ruled out of week 2's match-up agains the Steelers, and while Melvin Gordon was already the lead back,...
