Tomlin: RB Jaylen Warren 'certainly our featured runner'

Christopher Carter on X

Sep 02 · 9:04 PM EDT

Mike Tomlin on Jaylen Warren:

"His progress has been very evident and he's to be congratulated ... Certainly he'll be our featured runner. Certainly you'll see [Kaleb Johnson/Kenneth Gainwell], but at what time and at what degree [will depend week-to-week]."

Fantasy Impact:

Warren just signed an extension with the Steelers for two years and now looks to be the Steelers RB1. Warren isn't the biggest back so there will be questions about his size and handling a full workload, but it's good news for his owners who snagged him later in drafts. Johnson should be able to earn some early down work at some point, but it sounds like that will vary. It's just another RB situation that will need to work itself out before fantasy owners feel comfortable.

PHI RB Kenneth Gainwell - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Kenneth Gainwell had a nice game with nine touches for 79 total yards. He continues to get, on average, 45% of the snaps so there are games when he can be a factor.

This week, the Cardinals come to town and have been bad defensively all season. However, not enough numbers each week to earn a starting spot. Keep Gainwell on the bench for Week 17.
