Jaylen Warren Fantasy Stats

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to be a strong RB2 option in fantasy football, but his exact role in Monday's Week 15 contest against the Miami Dolphins will depend on game script. Warren had an underwhelming role on the ground last Sunday as he had just eight carries for 13 yards. However, he salvaged his fantasy showing with three catches, 49 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown. He ranked outside the top 55 running backs in both yards before contact per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Pittsburgh is favored by 3.5 points over Miami, which means the Steelers could go run-heavy. However, he'll also have to share some volume with Kenneth Gainwell. Pittsburgh routinely gets the ball in its running backs' hands, but it's just a matter of whether it happens on the ground or through the air. Either way, Warren is a top-24 fantasy running back for this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has found the end zone in three consecutive contests and will look to keep the streak alive in a Week 15 clash with the Miami Dolphins. Although the Dolphins' run defense was porous early in the season, it has turned things around as of late, holding opposing backs to just 3.8 yards per carry and the fewest fantasy points per game since Week 10. Furthermore, Miami hasn't given up a rushing or receiving touchdown to a running back since Week 8. Warren, while splitting touches with Kenneth Gainwell, is still Pittsburgh's primary ballcarrier and has seen an uptick in targets over the past two weeks. Cold temperatures and potential wind in Pittsburgh on Monday night could also influence the game script in his favor. He remains locked in as a fantasy RB2 despite the tough matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has scored in two consecutive contests and will look to keep that momentum going in a Week 14 road matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been below average against the run this season, surrendering over 4.4 yards per carry and 11 rushing touchdowns. Baltimore has also struggled to contain pass-catching running backs, allowing the seventh-most targets, ninth-most receptions, and eighth-most receiving yards to the position. Warren hasn't been as consistently utilized through the air as he was early in the season, but he remains fully capable as a check-down option for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist). Even with Kenneth Gainwell emerging as a reliable weapon for Pittsburgh, Warren is still the team's primary runner and preferred option on early downs. Fantasy managers should treat Warren as a solid RB2 heading into Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 10 carries for 35 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for nine yards on four targets in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In a game where almost everything went wrong for Pittsburgh, Warren was one of the lone bright spots. He gave the Steelers a 7-0 lead in the second quarter with a goal-line score, marking his fifth total touchdown of the season. In Week 14, he'll face the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, who have been strong against the run over the past eight weeks. Given how poorly Pittsburgh's offense has played lately, it's unlikely Warren delivers any league-winning performances down the stretch, but he's been good enough individually to remain in lineups as a steady RB2.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had a solid game last week and will look to build on that performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Buffalo has been solid against the pass but extremely vulnerable on the ground, surrendering the third-most rushing yards, the second-most yards per carry, and the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Warren will continue to split work with Kenneth Gainwell, who has emerged as Pittsburgh's preferred receiving back. Still, Warren remains the clear leader on the ground. The 27-year-old has logged double-digit carries in every game he's played this season, while Gainwell has reached 10 carries just twice. Though the Steelers enter this matchup as underdogs, they are projected to keep it competitive at home, suggesting plenty of utilization for Warren throughout. Fantasy managers should treat Warren as a high-end RB2 with upside on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned 18 carries into 68 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the first time this season, he was not targeted in the passing game. Backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell, on the other hand, hauled in all six of his targets and added 92 rushing yards. This marked the second straight week in which Gainwell outproduced Warren for fantasy purposes, though it's important to remember that Warren suffered an ankle injury in Week 11. It will be interesting to see how the two backs are deployed on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, who have struggled to stop the run all season. Being another week removed from the injury should only benefit Warren, so fantasy managers have no reason to panic just yet.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Warren was on the injury report with an ankle injury this week, but managed to avoid an injury designation after practicing in full on Friday. Warren should resume his role as the lead back heading into this Week 12 contest. Kenneth Gainwell has been more involved recently, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. Warren continues to be productive and should be a fine RB2 for this upcoming Week 12 matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice session and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Warren made steady progress throughout the week as he began the week with a DNP on Wednesday before being upgraded to limited on Thursday and ultimately clearing the injury report by Friday. The 27-year-old injured his ankle during Pittsburgh's win over the Bengals in Week 11, but said that he could have re-entered the game if the team needed him to. Kenneth Gainwell went off while Warren was sidelined, collecting a season-high seven catches for 81 yards with two touchdowns. Gainwell has been more involved recently, and he could continue to see more work with how productive he's been and with Warren banged up, but Warren is still the Steelers' best back and can be started as an RB2 for Week 12 against the Bears.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle) was back at practice on Thursday and was "moving around well" after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday, according to Brian Batko of PGSportsNow. Warren might be listed as limited on Thursday's report, but it's a good sign for his availability after he injured his ankle on Sunday in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 27-year-old downplayed his ankle injury after Sunday's contest, but it was noteworthy that he didn't re-enter the game in the fourth quarter, allowing backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell to go for season highs in catches (seven) and receiving yards (81) while scoring twice. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith hinted that Gainwell could see more touches at Warren's expense moving forward, although that will probably be dependent on Warren's health. Warren has been Pittsburgh's clear RB1 this year, but his fantasy ceiling could be lower this weekend against Chicago if he's not 100% past his ankle injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle), who didn't practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury he picked up in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, could be in danger of losing snaps to backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said that Warren and Gainwell are both "really good" on third downs and are "pretty interchangeable." Smith also added that the Steelers got into a rhythm during their two-minute drive against Cincy, which is why Gainwell stayed in for most of the drive. The 27-year-old Warren downplayed his ankle injury, but he didn't appear at all in the fourth quarter on Sunday, while Gainwell caught a season-high seven passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns. Warren has been the team's best RB all year by far, but the Steelers could be positioning themselves for Gainwell to take more of the load off Warren in Week 12 against the Bears if Warren is not 100% healthy.
