Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Strong volume again in Sunday's win
Jaylen Warren carried the ball nine times for 41 yards and caught all four of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.The third-year running back has benefitted from the Pittsburgh Steelers' switch at quarterback from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson. In four games with Wilson under center, Warren has gotten double-digit touches each time, amassing 281 scrimmage yards over that stretch. The four catches were also a season high for Warren. He's still looking for his first touchdown of 2024, either on the ground or through the air, but he could end that drought in Week 12 against a Browns defense that just got gutted for 188 combined yards and three TDs by the versatile Taysom Hill.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Good to go Sunday
Jaylen Warren (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.Warren sat out practice Thursday with the injury and then was a limited participant Friday, prompting the Pittsburgh Steelers to list him as questionable heading into the weekend. Though Pittsburgh signed another running back (Jonathan Ward) to its 53-man roster Saturday, his addition looks to have been mostly precautionary, as he'll be inactive for the contest with Warren getting the green light to play. Despite the missed practice this week, Warren should be ready to handle his usual duties as the Steelers' No. 2 back behind starter Najee Harris. Warren has earned at least nine touches in each of his last four appearances, but he has yet to find the end zone in any of his seven total outings so far this season.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Usage ticking up
Jaylen Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions on two targets for 29 yards.Warren earned a season-high 16 touches and outperformed Najee Harris for much of the game. He accounted for three of Pittsburgh's 10 longest gains from scrimmage, highlighted by rushes of 12 and 10 yards as well as a reception that went for 26 yards. The primary downside for Warren's projected role is his lack of work near the goal line, particularly after he lost a crucial fumble in Sunday's winning effort. Even so, his usage continues to tick up, and he should settle into seeing around 12 to 15 touches per game on a consistent basis.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Produces 63 yards off 11 touches
Jaylen Warren rushed nine times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.Warren continues to be one of the more effective backups in the league with another solid showing off of double-digit touches. The 25-year-old's production has taken off in recent weeks after quarterback Russell Wilson took over the offense Week 7. Najee Harris is still the bell cow of this offense, but Warren has shown that he can be effective in a limited role for those in deeper fantasy formats.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Solid in backup role
Jaylen Warren rushed 12 times for 44 yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.Najee Harris was the star of Pittsburgh's rushing attack in a lopsided win over the Jets, but Warren still produced off of 14 combined touches in the win. This was the backup's best output since Week 2 before poor play bookended a minor knee injury in recent weeks. Warren should continue to see a handful of touches behind Harris when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Giants next Monday.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Nine touches in return
Jaylen Warren recorded six rushes for seven yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders. He added three receptions on three targets for 11 yards.Warren returned from a two-game absence and is perhaps healthy for the first time this season. He worked as the change-of-pace back to Najee Harris and was ineffective in the role. However, Warren has shown the ability to work efficiently through his first two seasons in the league and will look to get his campaign on track after being derailed by injuries early on.
