Steelers RB Mendy back.

[Coachnorm]

According to Mendenhall's teammate, Isaac Redman, it looks like Mendenhall (Achilles') will start at running back for the Steelers against Ravens on Sunday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereports.

Good news for the Steelers, smaller pies for fantasy owners.

Do you trust him enough to put him in your lineups this week? I can't muster up that kind of courage. The RB situation there is a mess and this makes it messier IMO.

Scary is the word in most leagues and situations but I know one Mendy owner in a 16 team very flexy league that will probably take a shot.

Good luck.

With Ben out, I think the timing is perfect.

If I had been carrying this guy all year, I'd DARN sure start him this week. There should be plenty to go around in the Pittsburgh running game.

I agree here, but I think any of the Pittsburgh backs are a start, but I would not start a single wr on that team. Miller at TE is still a good target though.

i'd downgrade all rb's too . . . why wouldn't defenses stack the box against a depleted line and force leftwich to beat them . . . which he won't . . .
