Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned 13 carries into 62 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in a Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Warren ran efficiently in the first half but became an afterthought late as Pittsburgh fell behind early in the fourth quarter. His utilization will be worth monitoring in Week 9 against the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts, who shouldn't struggle to score on the Steelers' faltering defense. The Colts have been strong against the run this season, so Warren's best path to production likely comes as a receiving weapon for Aaron Rodgers. Fantasy managers can continue to roll with the 27-year-old as a solid RB2 heading into Sunday's matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is coming off his best performance of the season and will look to stay hot against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. On paper, this is not a favorable matchup for Warren, as the Packers surrender the third-fewest fantasy points per contest and fourth-fewest yards per carry to opposing running backs. However, Green Bay has given up the second-most receptions per game to the position, and Warren remains a key weapon in Pittsburgh's passing attack. This Sunday night showdown carries a healthy projected point total, suggesting enough offensive volume to keep Warren involved. Fantasy managers can continue to trust the fourth-year back as a solid RB2 in all formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren rushed for 127 yards on 16 carries during Thursday's Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught four of his five targets for an additional 31 receiving yards. Although Warren wasn't able to find the end zone on Thursday night, he still had a terrific performance with 7.94 yards per carry and a significant impact in the passing game. His efficiency likely peaked thanks to his matchup against a Bengals defensive line sans Trey Hendrickson (hip), but he still has a favorable fantasy outlook heading into Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He continues to rank as a steady RB2 option in fantasy football.

Steelers' RB Jaylen Warren ran for 127 yards on 16 carries but no touchdowns in Thursday's loss in Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren returned from a knee injury in Week 6 and is set to be heavily featured against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Cincinnati has given up 10 total touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, tied for the most in the NFL. The Bengals have also allowed a running back to eclipse 85 scrimmage yards in every game this year. While Warren will cede some opportunities to Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson, he remains the most likely of the trio to reach that mark. With his ability to contribute both on the ground and as a weapon for Aaron Rodgers in the passing game, Warren profiles as an RB2 with plenty of upside on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 11 carries for 52 yards and hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards in a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. Although he split touches with Kenneth Gainwell, Warren was the more efficient runner and led the RB room in snaps. This is encouraging for Warren's fantasy outlook heading into a Week 7 divisional showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have surrendered the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, proving vulnerable both on the ground and through the air to the position. Fantasy managers should fire up Warren as an RB2 in all formats on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) is set to return to action in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Though Kenneth Gainwell impressed in Warren's absence, the latter is expected to reclaim RB1 duties immediately after practicing in full all week. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check, however, as the Browns are allowing the fewest yards per carry and third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. If Pittsburgh is forced to lean on the passing attack, Warren should remain involved as a key target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, especially with Calvin Austin III (shoulder) sidelined. While this isn't the most appealing matchup, Warren still checks in as the RB26 in RotoBaller's half-PPR rankings and profiles as a high-end flex play in most formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) has now logged a full week of practice without limitation and carries no injury status into the team's Week 6 matchup with the Browns. Warren was a surprise inactive for the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings in Dublin, but has since had a bye week and this full week of practice to get back on track. While Kenneth Gainwell had a week-winning performance in his stead, expect Warren to reclaim most of the team's early down and passing work, putting him right back into play as a safe-floor RB2/flex option, especially in PPR formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. The 26-year-old missed Pittsburgh's Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings due to a knee injury, but it appears the team's Week 5 bye served him well. The Steelers are currently prepping for a Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Warren has recorded 274 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 54 total touches in three games this season. In Warren's absence in Week 4, Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had a monster game, scoring two touchdowns and recording 134 scrimmage yards. Gainwell's performance may lead to him stealing some touches away from Warren once Warren returns. If he's able to play, Warren profiles as a low-end RB2/high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 6 against Cleveland.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Warren missed the Steelers' Week 4 matchup against the Vikings in London and saw his backup, Kenneth Gainwell, total 134 yards and two touchdowns in his place. Before getting hurt, Warren handled the bulk of the work in the backfield. He began the season with 13 total touches against the Jets, then bumped up to 18 in Week 3 and up to a career high 23 in Week 3. He should be expected to retain his lead-back duties now that he is healthy and projects as a solid RB2 for Week 6.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) is still wearing a sleeve over his right leg, but he's practicing again on Wednesday, according to Alan Saunders of PGH Steelers Now. Warren injured his knee in Week 3 and was held out of the Week 4 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland as a result. The 26-year-old had last week's bye to heal up, so he might only end up missing one game. Backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell was heavily utilized in Ireland with Warren out, touching the football 25 times for 134 total yards and two touchdowns. Gainwell's big game could provoke the Steelers to give him more work moving forward, even when Warren returns. That's something fantasy managers will want to think about when setting their lineups going forward. Warren had 43 carries in his first three games, but he averaged a career-low 3.1 yards per tote. He has made up for his lack of efficiency on the ground with 11 receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown as a pass-catcher.

In addressing the media on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach included running back Jaylen Warren (knee) in a group of players for which he said the "arrow [was] pointed up". Warren was off to an excellent start to the season, due in large part to his heavy usage in the passing game, but a knee injury caused him to miss the Steelers' Week 4 game against the Vikings in Ireland. Warren has now had a bye week to recover, and he has been participating in individual drills this week. The Steelers face a stout Cleveland defense in Week 6, so Warren is by no means a must-start if he's available, but his pass-catching should provide a safe floor, particularly in PPR formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) was back in individual drills during Monday's practice after he missed the Week 4 win in Dublin, Ireland, over the Minnesota Vikings, according to Brian Batko. Warren was a surprise inactive in Week 4, leading the way for backup Kenneth Gainwell to be featured heavily in Pittsburgh's offense as both a rusher and receiver. The Steelers had a well-timed bye in Week 5, giving the 26-year-old Warren a good chance to make it back in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns after missing only one game. We'll have a better idea of Warren's Week 6 status once the Steelers start officially practicing on Wednesday. Warren has been a must-start in fantasy through three games, rushing for 132 yards on 43 carries while also catching 11 passes for 142 yards and a score. However, Warren will be a fade candidate in DFS against a tough Browns defense this weekend if he returns.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) was a surprise inactive before Week 4's win over the Minnesota Vikings. In his absence, Kenneth Gainwell exploded for 134 total yards and two touchdowns. Though Gainwell's performance could earn him more volume in the coming weeks, Warren was very effective as a pass-catcher through his first three games with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and should reclaim RB1 duties when he returns. The utilization of Darnell Washington in Pittsburgh's offense seemed to open up running lanes last week, so fantasy managers should be optimistic about Warren's potential going forward. The 26-year-old will now have the bye in Week 5 to get healthy ahead of a divisional bout with the stingy Cleveland Browns defense.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Warren tested out his knee pregame and wasn't feeling good enough to give it a go. This absence is a troubling situation for the Steelers who don't have a viable backup right now. Kenneth Gainwell figures to see increased snaps while Kaleb Johnson and Trey Sermon should be in the mix as well. Between the three, Gainwell offers the most fantasy upside for desperate managers heading into Week 4. Gainwell could offer some low-end flex appeal for this tough Sunday morning matchup in Dublin.

According to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) is expected to play on Sunday despite carrying a questionable designation. Warren was listed as a limited participant throughout the week due to veteran rest and a knee injury. However, Warren was unable to progress enough to avoid a designation following Friday's final practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status leading up to kickoff in case he faces a setback, but it appears he is trending in the right direction. Throughout the opening month of the season, Warren has been able to emerge as the top option in the Pittsburgh backfield. Warren has been given 14.3 rushing attempts per game and seen 4.0 targets per game. Given his role as a pass-catcher, Warren carries high-floor RB2 value in PPR formats despite facing a tough Minnesota defense that has allowed the 10th fewest PR points to opposing RBs this season. If he is unable to play, Kenneth Gainwell will likely operate as the primary option with Trey Sermon and Kaleb Johnson slotting behind him.

The Pittsburgh Steelers added running back Jaylen Warren (knee) to the Week 4 injury report, and he's now questionable to play on Sunday versus the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Warren was on the injury report this week and was listed with a knee, but also as veteran rest when he was limited in Thursday's practice. The 26-year-old's status is obviously worth keeping an eye on going into Sunday's international game, but we'd be surprised if he were ruled inactive. But if he doesn't play, Kenneth Gainwell would be a popular waiver-wire pickup and flex plug-and-play this weekend. Rookie Kaleb Johnson, who was a healthy scratch last week, would likely be active as a change-of-pace option alongside Trey Sermon. Warren has been very productive through three weeks and is a must-start RB if he plays.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren gained 81 total yards on 23 touches in a Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. Perhaps most importantly, the 26-year-old took the field for a career-high 80% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. He did cede a few opportunities to Kenneth Gainwell, who punched in a one-yard score after Warren was stopped twice inside the five-yard line. Still, Warren's usage in the passing game helped him outscore Gainwell in half-PPR fantasy leagues. He paced the Steelers in targets, drawing six looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Although Warren has a difficult matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on tap for Week 4, he has established himself as a quality RB2 and is a borderline must-start option going forward.

Dynasty | Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had 47 rushing yards, five catches, and 34 receiving yards in a win against New England. Dynasty Analysis: Warren had a whopping 23 touches on the day but only turned those into 81 scoreless yards. His first year as the lead back has gone pretty poorly as Warren is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry, which is far from the explosive five yards or more we routinely saw early in his career. The Steelers aren't blocking well, so it's not all his fault. Still, he's becoming a volume-based player who has a decent weekly floor but a ceiling that's looking pretty low as well. His ADP is starting to slip as a result of this slow start.
