The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Jaylen Warren.
Is Jaylen Warren Playing in Week 15?
Warren is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Steelers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Warren in Week 15?
There was nothing fancy on the 38-yard, third-down dump-off pass to Jaylen Warren on Sunday in Baltimore, but against the all-out pressure, it opened up, and he scored.
It’s a good thing, too, because his other 10 touches picked up just 24 yards and had no excitement attached to them.
All in all, Warren has scored in three straight, but he did split snaps with Kenneth Gainwell down the middle last week and only outtouched him by one. You’re on reasonably thin ice here, but with Gainwell the preferred option and the expectation for this to be a more favorable script, I think you can get away with considering Warren as an RB2 in PPR formats.
It’s not always a work of art, but he’s the favorite in this backfield for rush attempts and has caught 30 of his 35 targets on the year.
