The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t exactly look like they need him.The star running back tweeted “Farewell Miami” on Monday http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com/christian-miller-jersey-authentic , possibly indicating the end of his months-long standoff with the club. Bell hasn’t been inside the Pittsburgh locker room since last January, opting to stay away rather than sign his one-year franchise tender. The two-time All-Pro has sacrificed half of the $14.4 million he’s due this season but needs to report by Nov. 13 to make sure he accrues enough service time to reach free agency in March.Bell’s extended absence initially created a furor inside the locker room. Now, it seems almost like an afterthought. The Steelers (5-2-1) have ripped off four straight victories heading into Thursday night’s visit from Carolina (6-2), relying heavily on James Conner — Bell’s replacement — to surge into the lead in the AFC North.Conner topped 100 yards rushing for a fourth straight week during a 23-16 victory over Baltimore on Sunday, and caught his first career touchdown pass when he took a short flip from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and bulled past Baltimore safety Eric Weddle at the pylon.“He’s showing that no challenge is too big for him, against the No. 1 defense or whoever it might be,” Steelers left tackle Alejandro Villanueva said of Conner. “You know when you’re so close to him, and he lowers his shoulder, and you see him get a couple yards, it’s extremely motivating.”Conner is second in the league in all-purpose yards and touches behind Los Angeles Rams standout Todd Gurley and tied for fourth in total touchdowns. The second-year back hardly seems bothered by the heavy workload, saying he’s built for it. So does his coach.“I agree with James,” Mike Tomlin said Monday when asked about Conner’s personal assessment.Tomlin smiled as he answered, mirroring the considerably lighter mood around his team these days. The problems that plagued the Steelers during September have vanished, though Tomlin is reticent to point to any one area where his team has improved.“I’m not trying to look for specific areas Jordan Scarlett Jersey , I just try to challenge these guys to get better every day,” Tomlin said. “That’s what we’re focused on. I think that if we do that daily that will give us a chance to produce consistent performances that are on the rise. Not only in the second quarter (of the season) but as we continue through this journey.”It’s a pattern that’s become well established during Tomlin’s 12 years on the job. The Steelers have been traditionally slow starters under his watch, then get it together as the days grow shorter.Pittsburgh hasn’t allowed more than 21 points during its four-game run and the secondary that was torched regularly in the opening month has settled in. Coty Sensabaugh has taken over for Artie Burns at the cornerback spot opposite Joe Haden and rookie safety Terrell Edmunds has filled in capably while veteran Morgan Burnett heals from a series of injuries that have slowed him since training camp.The Steelers aren’t exactly overwhelming opponents but considering the firepower on offense, overwhelming teams isn’t required. Pittsburgh gave up at least 327 yards in each of its first four games. The Steelers haven’t surrendered more than 324 yards over their last four.“Our defense is working in the right direction,” safety Sean Davis said. “We held the Ravens to 16 points … and I feel like we’re putting together winning performances. As long as the defense continues to do that, and with our offense playing the way they’re playing, we’re just going to continue riding the roller coaster. Our trajectory is high.”Considerably higher than it appeared while getting repeatedly torched during the opening month. Yet the job is still only halfway done. The schedule remains daunting. If Bell — whenever he shows up — can return to at least some semblance of the form that made him an All-Pro last season, Pittsburgh could be a tough out. If he can’t, they like their chances anyway.“It’s still going to be a long ride,” linebacker Bud Dupree said. “It was great that we got the win to get on top of the division again. We’ve got another game against the Bengals. We just need to be sure to dominate everywhere.” NFL fantasy draft season is here as what happened last season doesn’t matter. While I provided you with sleepers, it’s time to analyze the other side of the coin. It’s not that you shouldn’t draft the guys on this list it’s about selecting surefire talent as opposed to potential enigmas.With projections from <em>Fantasy</em> <em>Pros</em>, here are some players worth second-guessing:Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, San Francisco 49ers<em>2018 Projections: 4 David Montgomery Jersey ,296 yards, 24 TDs, 13 INTs, 257.7 fantasy points</em>The schedule does not favor Jimmy G with a middling supporting cast in San Francisco. Right off the bat, he must earn his check against a vaunted Minnesota defense. Next, he plays Detroit, a team that finished third in takeaways and should be disciplined under Matt Patricia. Following the bye week in November, Garoppolo faces four teams that finished top 10 against the pass. Finally, he plays seven games against teams that finished top 10 in takeaways. That is a lot to handle for a guy with Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin as his top targets.Case Keenum, QB, Denver Broncos<em>2018 Projections: 3,830 yards, 21 TDs, 13 INTs http://www.bearsfootballauthentics.com/riley-ridley-jersey-authentic , 228.1 fantasy points</em>Keenum is another player playing on a team that is looking for a return on their investment. The new Bronco faces six teams that finished top 10 against the pass and seven teams that specialized in taking the ball away. He does have Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders to chuck it too, but his line relinquished 52 sacks a year ago. What good is a quarterback who is always under duress? If he gets consistency at tailback, he could be fine.LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills<em>2018 Projections: 883 yards, 345 receiving yards, 7 total TDs, 161.7 fantasy points</em>The Bills’ speedster has a favorable schedule, facing two teams that finished in the upper third of the league against the run. However, he required the most carries last season (287) since 2014. In addition, his even four yards per carry was the lowest he averaged in his career. Finally, McCoy just turned 30, has three guys that could play musical chairs at quarterback, and Buffalo’s best mauler in Richie Incognito retired. The bottom line is be cautious with Shady especially considering the tweet above.Amari Cooper Shareef Miller Jersey , WR, Oakland Raiders<em>2018 Projections: 78 catches, 1,035 yards, 7 TDs, 142.9 fantasy points</em>The Raiders’ number one target is scheduled to eclipse 1,000 yards after failing to garner 700 a year ago. Don’t get suckered into taking him. Furthermore, Martavis Bryant and Jordy Nelson are eager to improve on lackluster 2017 seasons like Cooper. Cooper will have the luxury of facing Chris Harris Jr. and Casey Hayward twice. Then, he faces six other unfavorable match-ups versus solid corners or teams that were top 10 against the pass in 2017. Take a rain check on Cooper.Jimmy Graham, TE, Green Bay Packers<em>2018 Projections: 62 catches, 655 yards, 7 TDs, 107 fantasy points</em>Graham might be the most talented tight end Aaron Rodgers has ever played with. He led all tight ends with 10 touchdowns a year ago. Logically http://www.eaglesfootballauthentics.com/zach-brown-jersey-authentic , you would think joining the Green Bay Packers would mean he is poised for a big campaign. But, Rodgers, or the Packers scheme, has not been real tight end friendly. Since 2013, their tight ends have generated a meager 34 receptions, 351 yards, and three touchdowns. Either Graham will be an outlier at 31 or that trend will continue.None of these guys on this list are unworthy of being drafted. Instead, they are guys you would rather pick up later than where they may be projected to go. Who knows they could fall to you in a round that is a bit more convenient, making them sleepers.
