Toussaint (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session.
EDGE Analysis
Toussaint entered the concussion protocol after a wild-card round win over the Dolphins in which he didn't get a single carry. If cleared for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, he likely won't see much of a role beyond special teams.

Toussaint is dealing with concussion-like symptoms and will be monitored under league protocol, Bob Labriola of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Look for more updates to come throughout the practice week as Toussaint will have to pass testing before he can return to the field. The No. 3 back failed to see any offensive snaps in Sunday's wild-card win over the Dolphins and, if cleared to play, isn't likely to see much action against the Chiefs.

Toussaint had three carries for 14 yards in Pittsburgh's 27-24 overtime win against Cleveland on Sunday. He also caught both passes thrown to him for 24 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Toussaint, who will continue to serve as a back-up to Le'Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams heading in to the playoffs, finishes the regular season with 58 yards on 14 carries and three receptions for 33 yards.

Toussaint ran once for six yards in the Steelers' 27-20 win over the Bills on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Le'Veon Bell rushing 38 times and totaling 298 yards from scrimmage, the Steelers didn't need to call on Toussaint, or just about anyone else, for that matter for most of the game. There is no reason to have Toussaint in your fantasy lineup, or even on your roster, heading in to Week 15.

Toussaint totaled 28 yards on six carries against the Colts on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
These were Toussaint's first carries since Week 2, with most coming on the final drive of the game, in route to a career-high 28 rushing yards for the third-year running back. With DeAngelo Williams on the mend, Toussaint should soon drop to third on the Steelers' depth chart.

With DeAngelo Williams in line to miss time with a knee injury, Toussaint will serve as Le'Veon Bell's top backup Sunday against the Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toussaint's stint as the Steelers' No. 2 back figures be a multi-week deal with Williams facing a 4-to-6 week recovery, though it's also possible that the team brings in some added backfield depth. In any case, with Bell entrenched as the starter, Toussaint is not a fantasy lineup option, though he now represents a useful insurance policy for Bell owners.

Toussaint ran once for four yards, and caught his only target for nine yards in the Steelers' 24-16 win over the Bengals Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Toussaint now has four carries for 10 yards in a back-up role to DeAngelo Williams, and can expect to see even less action once Le'Veon Bell returns from his suspension after Pittsburgh's Week 3 game in Philadelphia.

Toussaint rushed for six yards on three carries in Monday's win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Toussaint didn't top four touches until Week 17 last year, with Pittsburgh scraping near the bottom of the team's running back depth chart. Whether it's Le'Veon Bell or DeAngelo Williams, Pittsburgh tends to ride a single back, illustrated by Williams' 32-to-three advantage in touches over Toussaint on Monday. That isn't likely to change and Toussaint's touches will only evaporate further upon Bell's return.

Toussaint gained eight yards on six carries and 18 yards on two catches (two targets) in Friday's preseason game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Toussaint didn't get any touches until the fourth quarter, after Daryl Richardson dominated the third-quarter workload. Richardson failed to pull away in the battle for the No. 3 running back job, gaining just 20 yards on nine carries and four yards on one reception. It's still unclear which player will serve as the top backup to DeAngelo Williams while Le'Veon Bell serves a three-game suspension to start the season. Bell's impending absence does mean that both Toussaint and Richardson could make the final roster.

Toussaint ran for 26 yards on eight carries on Thursday. He also had two receptions for 16 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Playing to win Pittsburgh's third running back spot on the roster, Toussaint did little to distinguish himself from his main compeition, Daryl Richardson. On the bright side, the Steelers learned that their star running back, Le'Veon Bell, had his suspension reduced from four to three games, making whomever wins the RB3 job even less of a factor, especially in terms of fantasy value.
