Steelers' James Conner unlikely to play in Week 13's game against Washington

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (COVID-19) is unlikely to play in Week 13's game against the Washington Football Team on Monday night.

What It Means:

Conner is eligible to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, but is still "unlikely" to play against Washington, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coming off the list on Monday would put him on track to return for Week 14's game against the Buffalo Bills. If Conner does miss Monday's game, Benny Snell is expected to remain in the feature back role against a Washington defense rated 6th against running backs in numberFire's advanced stats.

The Steelers are 7.0-point favorites over Washington in Week 13. Their implied team total of 25.25 points is the second-highest team total on the 'SNF-MNF' slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
