Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Career-best rushing performance
Jaylen Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions. He added two receptions on two targets for eight yards.The backfield split in Pittsburgh remained consistent, with Warren taking the lead on the ground and Kenneth Gainwell working as the preferred pass catcher. Warren came alive in the second half, ripping off nearly identical 45-yard touchdown runs on back-to-back possessions in the fourth quarter while also chipping in an additional 21-yard gain. The end result was a career-high 143 yards on the ground and Warren's first time cracking the century mark since Week 7. It was a needed showing, as he had also been held below 40 rushing yards in three straight games entering Sunday's matchup.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Struggles through illness Monday
Jaylen Warren (illness) rushed 12 times for 33 yards while catching all three of his targets for 15 yards in Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.Warren was a late addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers' injury report Monday with an illness, which may help explain his poor individual performance in his team's victory. Backup Kenneth Gainwell took advantage of the starter's limitations and finished as Pittsburgh's leading rusher on a team-high 20 touches. It was only the third time this season that Warren's backup reached double-digit carries, so fantasy managers shouldn't hit the panic button following Monday's backfield shift. A healthier Warren will have an opportunity to reestablish himself as the Steelers' primary back in a road matchup against the Lions on Sunday.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Suiting up Monday
Jaylen Warren (illness) is listed as active Monday against the Dolphins, Teresa Varley of the Pittsburgh Steelers' official site reports.Pittsburgh added Warren to its injury report Monday as questionable for Week 15 action due to an illness, but it won't stop him from being available to the team's ground game. He's received double-digit touches in every contest this season en route to averaging 15.8 touches for 77.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six total TDs in 12 appearances. Having said that, if Warren isn't 100 percent healthy, he could cede some of those reps to Kenneth Gainwell and even Kaleb Johnson.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Finds end zone as receiver
Jaylen Warren rushed the ball eight times for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. He added three receptions on three targets for 49 yards and a touchdown.The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense had an abysmal showing on the ground, as their 17 rushing attempts led to only 34 yards. Warren still led the backfield in attempts, but his only impact on the game came as a pass catcher, and in particular on a 38-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter. Warren has been touchdown-reliant for the last several weeks due to his inefficiency as a rusher, but he has found the end zone in three straight contests and has five scores in his last six games.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Matches season high in carries
Jaylen Warren rushed the ball 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.Warren was cleared Friday from an ankle injury, though there was still some question as to whether he'd handle his typical workload. However, he matched his season high with 18 carries and reached at least 60 rushing yards for the third straight game. Warren also found the end zone for only the fourth time this season on a one-yard plunge late in the second quarter. Warren remains the traditional lead back for Pittsburgh despite ceding work as a pass catcher, and he's a reliable, if unspectacular, contributor.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Cleared after full practice Friday
Jaylen Warren (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Teresa Varley of the Pittsburgh Steelers' official site reports.Warren steadily raised his practice participation throughout the week, as he upgraded to full participation Friday after being limited Thursday and being a non-participant Wednesday.

Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Officially limited Thursday
Jaylen Warren (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.Both Warren and Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) upgraded to limited participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, so the Pittsburgh Steelers may still wind up having both their top running back and starting quarterback available for Sunday's game at Chicago. Warren's return Thursday is a step in the right direction, but he could still carry an injury designation into Sunday's game unless he upgrades to full participation Friday. Backups Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson are both healthy.
