Eli Heidenreich fantasy football projections have managers perplexed

Eli Heidenreich has a great story after making the Pittsburgh Steelers' 53-man roster post-NFL cut down day -- the Navy running back from Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania picked in the seventh round earlier this year is now No. 3 on the depth chart behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.

It's a terrific story for the former WR/RB who could be a kick returner for the franchise. But there are questions being asked about his fantasy football projection on Yahoo's platform -- after a projected quiet Week 1, the Yahoo projections have him going OFF for a ton of points per week.

Is it an error? Either way, it's confusing managers who are doing their drafts this week:
