Availability
Jaylen Warren (shoulder) was officially limited at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Warren was able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday, despite dealing with a minor shoulder injury of some kind. It looks like he's trending towards playing in Week 3 and may be in line for a large workload if Rico Dowdle (toe) is sidelined against the Bengals.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren was not seen practicing on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
It is unclear what Warren is dealing with. Rico Dowdle also did not practice and was seen in a boot on his right foot.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed for 43 yards on 11 carries in the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots. He caught 2-of-4 targets for 34 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Warren saw the majority of the work after Rico Dowdle was ruled out with a toe injury. If Dowdle is unable to play in Week 3, Warren would be expected to handle the bulk of the work against a Bengals' defense that looked strong in a win over Houston.
Jaylen Warren carried the ball 10 times for 46 yards while catching five of his six targets for 27 yards and losing a fumble in a 20-13 win over the Falcons in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Warren and Rico Dowdle split first-team reps in the preseason, but it was Warren who emerged with the better game in Week 1, out-touching Dowdle 15 to 10 and out-gaining him 73 to 21. Warren will be a flex option for fantasy purposes heading into Week 2 against the Patriots.
Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle split the first-team reps in practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Warren and Dowdle continue to rotate who sees the first reps with the first-team. They are likely to both be involved in a committee in the Steelers backfield this season.
