Jaylen Warren hindered by illness in win over Dolphins

Battling an illness that landed him on the injury report leading up to kickoff, Jaylen Warren struggled to generate momentum during Monday night's victory over Miami, rushing 12 times for 33 yards. The starter added three receptions for 15 yards but was clearly limited, opening the door for Kenneth Gainwell to outgain him significantly and lead the backfield in touches.

Fantasy Impact:

This marked a rare deviation in the Steelers' rushing hierarchy, as Gainwell reached double-digit carries for only the third time this season. Assuming a return to full health, Warren should be positioned to reclaim his lead role when Pittsburgh travels to Detroit in Week 16.
