Latest news

Steelers optimistic RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) plays Week 12

The team is optimistic Jaylen Warren will play on Sunday against the Bears.

Related players: Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell

Fantasy Impact:

HC Mike Tomlin said Warren will be limited early in the week. In a news item Monday, Warren said he likely could have come back into Week 11's game, so it all adds up to what is hopefully Warren ready to go against the Bears. It's an earlier Sunday game, so owners will know well in advance as far as their lineup goes. Gainwell would likely be the main back with Johnson getting some work should Warren be unable to go.

Jaylen Warren on his ankle injury:

“I could have (returned), but it was part of being smart. We got a lot of games ahead of us, so they’re looking out for me.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's good news for Warren and his fantasy owners. And, it gives him a shot to play in Week 12's game at the Bears. Injury reports later this week will be key, and the game is an early Sunday contest so owners should have plenty of time to adjust either way. Gainwell should get the bulk of the work if Warren ends up not playing and the rookie Johnson will get some touches well.

Jaylen Warren getting work in to start the week.

Related players: Kenneth Gainwell, Kaleb Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

Warren was a scratch in Week 4, an early game overseas. Those who missed that news and left Warren in lineups ended up with a zero, while Gainwell had a big day filling in. We'll still need to see the practice report this week, but this news at least seems positive that Warren could return for Week 6, after the team's Week 5 bye. The Steelers have an early game on Sunday of Week 6, so owners will have time to adjust lineups.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren and TE Jonnu Smith are Questionable for Week 4

The Steelers added RB Jaylen Warren (knee) to the injury report and he's questionable for Sunday vs. Minnesota.

TE Jonnu Smith (hip) and CB Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring) are also questionable.

Related Players: Kenneth Gainwell, Kaleb Johnson, Pat Freiermuth

Fantasy Impact:

It would be interesting to see what kind of role Kaleb Johnson would have if Warren misses, but that shouldn't put him in fantasy consideration. If Jonnu misses, Freiermuth would move up in the top-20 TE range.
