2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
Warren took a major leap in year two, teaming with Najee Harris to give the Steelers two top-30 fantasy backs that only the Lions and Dolphins were able to match. Though Pitt never wavered from keeping Harris as the workhorse, Warren did become the preferred passing down back, as his 74 targets put him 6th in the NFL at his position. He continued to be ultra efficient with his carries with a 5.3 per-carry average. That mark made him 2nd among backs behind only Christian McCaffrey. Warren's athletic profile, and advanced metrics make him one of the best values in fantasy football, and if Najee Harris were to miss time, Warren would be an upside RB2 even with the addition of Cordarrelle Patterson. Either way, with improvements along the line, a run-first scheme, and check-down champ at quarterback, Warren not only possesses strong standalone value, but also season altering upside.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Jaylen Warren expected to miss some time
Knee injury; underwent MRI on Monday
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 24, 5:40 pm

FFToday's Take: Monday's MRI must have revealed enough inflammation or damage to convince the team to call him week-to-week on Tuesday. Warren's absence should be a slight boon to Najee Harris' fantasy stock, although Pittsburgh's offense has been so conservative that no one outside of George Pickens and maybe Justin Fields have been usable in fantasy. Cordarrelle Patterson figures to assume most of Warren's role in the offense and is worth adding off waivers this week.


Injury Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren both ailing
Harris nursing likely arm injury; Warren dealing with a knee issue

FFToday's Take: HC Mike Tomlin has yet to speak on the issue with the media, so there's not much to report yet. With that said, the fact Harris has his arm in a sling suggests he is more likely than not to miss a game for the first time in his NFL career against the Colts in Week 4. Warren dealt with a hamstring injury right before the start of the season, so his season has not gotten off to the greatest start. Cordarrelle Patterson would be the next man up for the Steelers and would be worth starting as a flex option in deeper leagues if Harris and Warren are both sidelined.


Injury Jaylen Warren anticipates playing in opener
Recovering from a preseason hamstring injury

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) said he did individuals and special teams work in practice today, and he anticipates joining team periods on Wednesday. He said he'll be good to go for the season opener Sunday. (ESPN - Brooke Pryor)

FFToday's Take: Warren came at a discount during August drafts due to the hamstring injury. While his fantasy managers should rejoice because of that, Pittsburgh's offensive line may not be what most expected due to the injuries it has dealt with so far. With that said, Warren still profiles as a capable flex option who will likely dabble with RB2 production on occasion. Najee Harris should still be drafted a bit earlier based on his expected workload.


Injury Jaylen Warren expected to miss multiple weeks, hamstring
Week 1 status in doubt
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Aug 18, 8:37 pm

Pittburgh Steelers
Following a breakout second season, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren's status to open his third year is in doubt. Warren will be out multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained Saturday and his status for the season opener is up in the air, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Sunday. (NFL.com)

FFToday's Take: With Week 1 exactly three weeks away, it sounds like Warren is going to be questionable for the Steelers opener against the Falcons. This could mean more work Najee Harris early in the season if Warren isn't able to go. Cordarrelle Patterson is waiting in the wings.


Injury Jaylen Warren leaves preseason game No.2, hamstring injury
Doubtful to return
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Aug 17, 7:55 pm

Pittburgh Steelers
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren sustained a hamstring injury tonight and the team says he now is doubtful to return vs. the Bills. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: We don't know the severity of the injury as of now, but we're sure to get more updates soon. Warren is set to split carries with Najee Harris in the Arthur Smith offense of the Steelers. Stay tuned...
