Jaylen Warren to miss multiple weeks, Week 1 status ‘up in the air’

Aug 18, 2024

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is out multiple weeks with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

His status for Week 1 against the Falcons is up in the air. Warren suffered the injury during Saturday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.

Warren had a breakout season last year with over 1,000 total yards, including 61 receptions for 370 and averaged over five yards per carry. Najee Harris will step back into the lead role for the Steelers with a chance to prove himself after the team declined to pick up his fifth-year option this offseason. Cordarrelle Patterson will also be in the mix.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.

Good news for the Saints as they try to claw their way back into playoff talks. This would be great for Chris Olave, who has a very cushy matchup against the Panthers secondary this week.
