The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly re-signed running back Jonathan Dwyer, who was cut at the end of the preseason.
During Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Titans, the Steelers' running game was dreadful. LaRod Stephens-Howling ran for 19 yards and Isaac Redman ran for just nine yards. With Le'Veon Bell injured, Pittsburgh is going to have a difficult time getting anything going on the ground.
Fantasy spin:
Dwyer doesn't have much fantasy value in standard leagues. He has had chances to prove himself in the past and has always come up short. There is a reason the Steelers invested a high draft choice in Bell.
The running game badly needs a spark, and while Dwyer won't provide it, he's at least a change of pace. The only real chance the Steelers running game has of taking off will be when Bell returns to the lineup.
