Summary

The Steelers lacked a second running back who topped 100 yards on the season. That is not 100 yards in a single game; the Steelers did not have a second back who totaled 100 yards. Benny Snell is the clear handcuff. In the past, he has shown flashes, including a 113-yard performance in week 1 2020 that ignited a mad scramble on fantasy waiver wires. He is limited to spurts of productivity and is solely a handcuff, though one of the easiest to obtain.
