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.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
