Snell is listed behind James Conner and Jaylen Samuels at running back on the Steelers' initial unofficial depth chart of 2019.
Per Mark Kaboly of The Athletic, the rookie fourth-round pick is "is a hard runner and a little quicker than expected, but [Snell is] a rookie out there making rookie mistakes." That's the sort of mixed review not uncommon for first-year players, but at 5-foot-10 and 224 pounds, Snell is the kind of power back who could make an impact as the season rolls along if either of the players ahead of him on the depth chart miss time. He's therefore among the group of rookie backs worthy of a late-round dart in fantasy drafts or as a late flyer in auctions, given how fluid NFL backfields can been once injuries hit.
