Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Russell was Pittsburgh's short-yardage back last season. He earned playing time after the season-ending shoulder injury to former first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall. But with Mendenhall's return this year, Russell became expendable. The Bengals, meanwhile, are looking for a running back to add depth behind starter Cedric Benson. Russell is a third-year player who has 35 career carries for 98 yards.
