Held to 15 yards
Warren rushed the ball four times for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles. He added one rush on two targets for three yards.
Analysis: Pat Freiermuth was the only Steelers' skill-position player to deliver a useful fantasy performance as the offense ran only 41 plays for the game. Warren did avoid any back-breaking mistakes, unlike Najee Harris, though this marked his fewest yards from scrimmage since Week 3. Warren's usage on the ground has been inconsistent this season, though he's had more regular production as a pass catcher and should have the chance to bounce back in that role in a Week 16 matchup against Baltimore.

Productive in victory
Warren carried the ball nine times for 47 yards while securing two of five targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Warren was on the field for 52 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, outpacing Najee Harris' 42 percent and Cordarrelle Patterson's 14 percent. Warren responded by topping 50 yards from scrimmage for a seventh consecutive game, but Harris was the only Pittsburgh back to reach the end zone with a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Warren has carved out a somewhat consistent fantasy role, but his ceiling is limited as long as he's sharing the backfield with Harris.

Productive as receiver
Warren rushed the ball three times for nine yards in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals. He added four receptions on four targets for 55 yards.
Analysis: Warren seemed to be gaining momentum in the Pittsburgh backfield entering Sunday's matchup, but he was oddly uninvolved as a rusher. He managed to save his day as a pass catcher, tallying long gains of 29 and 14 yards. Despite that positive work, it will be difficult to trust Warren in fantasy lineups given his inconsistent usage.

Records rushing TD in loss
Warren rushed 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the Steelers' 24-19 loss to the Browns on Thursday night. He also returned one kickoff for 26 yards.
Analysis: Warren logged five fewer carries than Najee Harris but was more efficient with his opportunities, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt to his teammate's 2.6. Warren also recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run just before the midway point of the fourth quarter, and he's now recorded over 40 rushing yards in four straight games while tallying multiple receptions in five consecutive contests as well. Warren next takes aim at the Bengals' inconsistent defense in a Week 13…read more

Strong volume again in Sunday's win
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.
Analysis: The third-year running back has benefitted from the 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…read more

Good to go Sunday
Warren (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Warren sat out practice Thursday with the injury and then was a limited participant Friday, prompting the 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…read more

Likely to play Sunday
Warren (back) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, barring a pregame setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After sitting out practice Thursday, Warren was able to get in a limited session Friday before taking a designation into the weekend. In a big AFC North divisional tilt, Warren sounds like he's going to be able to play and help spell starter Najee Harris out of Pittsburgh's backfield. Warren is averaging 9.9 touches per game this season but has yet to score a touchdown.

Questionable after limited practice
Warren (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Warren practiced on a limited basis Friday after he didn't take the practice field Thursday. If Warren's unable to play his usual change-of-pace role behind Najee Harris in Sunday's critical rivalry game, Cordarrelle Patterson could see an increase in opportunities on offense.

Added to injury report
Warren didn't practice Thursday due to a back issue, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Warren wasn't listed Wednesday, so his addition to the Steelers' Week 11 injury report a day later is something to monitor ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens. Meanwhile, fellow running back Najee Harris, who missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle concern, returned to full participation Thursday.

Usage ticking up
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Produces 63 yards off 11 touches
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.
Analysis: 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.

Solid in backup role
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.
Analysis: 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 Steelers host the Giants next Monday.

Nine touches in return
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.
Analysis: 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.

Cleared to face Raiders
Warren (knee) has been upgraded from his prior listed questionable status and will not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Burt Lauten of Steelers.com reports.
Analysis: After logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Warren practiced fully Friday, with coach Mike Tomlin noting afterward that the running back headed into the weekend on a "good trajectory on the upswing." Now that Warren -- who had missed two straight games -- has been cleared to face Las Vegas on Sunday, he's in a position to reclaim a portion of the Steelers' backfield duties alongside Najee Harris, a context that makes him a lineup consideration for those in deeper formats or who are…read more

Questionable for Sunday
Coach Mike Tomlin said Friday that Warren (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Warren was able to practice fully Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend after being viewed as doubtful earlier this week. The Steelers kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, so ideally those inclined to consider him in fantasy lineups will have more context regarding his status prior to the first wave of kickoffs.

Remains limited at practice
Warren (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official reports.
Analysis: Per Missi Matthews of the team's official site, coach Mike Tomlin indicated earlier this week that Warren was doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but the running back's limited participation Wednesday and Thursday offers some hope that he could be available this weekend. In any case, Friday's final injury report will clarify Warren's official Week 6 designation.

Limited in practice Wednesday
Warren (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Head coach Mike Tomlin previously labeled Warren as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but the running back's involvement in practice in some fashion a day later is at least a positive development. Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has already been ruled out for Sunday, so Warren would return to a complementary role behind top back Najee Harris if Warren is able to make a surprise return in Las Vegas.

Unlikely to play in Week 6
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Warren (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Tomlin has already ruled out Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) for a second straight game, and though the coach is still leaving the door open for Warren to play, the 25-year-old will in all likelihood sit out a third consecutive contest. With Warren and Patterson sidelined for Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys, Najee Harris (14 carries, two receptions, 74 percent snap share) took on the majority of playing time out of the backfield, while Aaron Shampklin (four carries, no receptions, 19 percent…read more

Won't play Sunday
Warren (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Fellow RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has also been ruled out for the contest, which sets the stage for Aaron Shampklin to back up Najee Harris on Sunday. Meanwhile, La'Mical Perine and Jonathan Ward are candidates to be elevated from Pittsburgh's practice squad ahead of Week 5 action. Warren will target a possible return to action Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Raiders.

Analysis: Warren was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday, and it looks like he's trending toward a second consecutive missed game due to the knee injury he picked up Week 3. With Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) also having missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, Aaron Shampklin and practice squad player Jonathan Ward look destined for increased work behind Najee Harris versus Dallas.

Logs another absence
Warren (knee) missed Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) have both missed consecutive practices, clouding the duo's status for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. If one or both are limited or out this weekend, Aaron Shampklin would be a candidate to log added Week 5 snaps behind top back Najee Harris.

Misses practice Wednesday
Warren (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Warren missed this past Sunday's loss to the Colts with the knee injury and doesn't appear to be trending in the right direction for this weekend's game against the Cowboys. He'll still have two more opportunities to increase his practice activity and potentially make himself available for this Sunday's contest, but if Warren remains out, Najee Harris would likely be in store for another hefty role on the ground and as a pass catcher.

Warren (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Warren, who didn't practice this week, thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 6 against the Cowboys. In Warren's looming absence, look for Cordarrelle Patterson to see added complementary looks behind top back Najee Harris, with Jonathan Ward and/or Aaron Shampklin candidates to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 4 action.

Warren (knee) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Analysis: Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin hasn't closed the door on Warren playing Sunday in Indianapolis, but with consecutive absences from practice to begin Week 4 prep, the running back appears to be trending toward missing his first game of the season. Meanwhile, Najee Harris was back on the field Thursday after a rest day Wednesday and appears positioned to take on a higher volume of the snaps and touches out of the backfield Sunday versus the Colts if Warren is in fact inactive for the contest.

In any case, Warren is averaging only 3.9 carries, 1.7 targets and 27.3 total yards per game while sharing backup work with Cordarrelle Patterson, leaving Najee Harris to get most of the work out of the backfield.

Analysis: Tomlin didn't disclose the findings from the MRI that Warren underwent Monday, one day after the running back exited the Steelers' win over the Chargers due to a knee injury. At the very least, the coach's decision not to immediately rule Warren out for Week 4 suggests that the knee injury isn't believed to be too significant.

Prior to exiting, Warren rushed just three times for 10 yards while securing his only target for minus-1 yard.

Slips to third in team's RB usage
Warren rushed three times for five yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Warren saw significantly less volume than both Najee Harris (18 carries, five targets) and Cordarrelle Patterson (four carries, five targets). With Patterson seemingly supplanting Warren as the team's top change-of-pace option behind Harris, Warren will be tough to trust in Week 4 against the Colts.

Uptick in involvement
Warren rushed the ball nine times for 42 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos. He added two catches on two targets for 19 yards.
Analysis: Warren was out-touched 18-11 by Najee Harris, though he encouragingly saw an uptick in his usage Sunday. He was effective in his role as both a rusher and pass catcher, tallying long gains of 11 and 12 yards, respectively. This performance is an encouraging sign that Warren is getting healthier after suffering a hamstring injury during training camp, though he still appears to be working clearly behind Harris.

Limited involvement against Atlanta
Warren rushed the ball twice for seven yards and recorded two catches on two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Warren was cleared to play Sunday after battling a hamstring injury throughout the preseason. Based on his efficiency from 2023, it was expected that Warren would challenge Najee Harris for the lead-back role in Pittsburgh, though he was limited to only 22 offensive snaps in Week 1 compared to 38 for Harris. That likely indicates that Warren isn't fully healthy, though there should be more clarity on that as the week progresses.

Warren (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Warren was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, suggesting that he has fully recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up in mid-August. Despite an offseason overhaul that included a new quarterback in Russell Wilson (questionable, calf) and a new offensive coordinator in Arthur Smith, Pittsburgh is expected to deploy its backfield duo of Najee Harris and Warren in similar proportions to last season.

Warren (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: Warren has been rehabbing a hamstring issue since being injured in an Aug. 17 preseason game, including being limited in Wednesday's practice, but it looks like he's fully ready for Week 1. The third-year pro doesn't look like he'll carry an injury designation into Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons, so it appears as though fantasy managers can be confident in Warren handling a key role out of the Pittsburgh backfield alongside Najee Harris.

Analysis: Warren missed a couple weeks of practice after injuring his hamstring Aug. 17 during a preseason game.

Analysis: Though the extent of Warren's activity in practice won't be known until the Steelers release their first official injury report of the season Wednesday, Warren said that he'll "be ready by Sunday."

Analysis: Warren was limited to light work during the portion of Monday's practice open to the media, per Batko, but he still has nearly two weeks to get fully healthy for Week 1. The third-year pro suffered a hamstring injury during the Steelers' second preseason game, but there doesn't appear to be tangible concern about his regular-season availability.

Injury downplayed by coach
Coach Mike Tomlin noted Tuesday that Warren "is out, probably out for this week," but added that the running back's hamstring issue is "not anything that's a long-term concern," Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While it's probably safe to assume that Warren won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, Tomlin's words Tuesday would appear to bode well with regard to the running back's chances of being available for Week 1 action. Once he's back on the field, Warren will resume working in Pittsburgh's backfield in tandem with Najee Harris, a looming timeshare that should result in both players remaining on the fantasy radar this season.

Analysis: Warren suffered the injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Bills.

Injures hamstring Saturday
Warren suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: The team officially is listing Warren as doubtful to return, but such a designation should be taken with a grain of salt considering it's exhibition season and not the regular season. Still, the situation should be monitored to get a sense of its impact on Warren, fellow RB Najee Harris and the rest of the Steelers backfield. Warren is on the heels of a 2023 campaign in which he posted 1,154 yards from scrimmage and four rushing touchdowns in 17 regular-season games.

Three touches to Harris' four
Warren rushed three times for 11 yards and wasn't targeted in Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Warren and Najee Harris, who had 25 yards on four touches, both saw time with the first-team offense in the first quarter. The two running backs were in a timeshare last season and will likely continue to split playing time under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. The Steelers' Aug. 17 preseason game against the Bills offers another opportunity for Warren and Harris to familiarize themselves with Smith's scheme.

Solid numbers in playoff loss
Warren rushed eight times for 38 yards and brought in both targets for 16 yards in the Steelers' 31-17 wild-card loss to the Bills on Monday afternoon.
Analysis: Warren logged just four fewer carries than backfield mate Najee Harris and also matched his teammate's two receptions. Warren enjoyed an expanded role in the 2023 campaign, establishing himself as a legitimate two-way threat out of the backfield with a 149-784-4 line on the ground that he complemented with an impressive 61 receptions and 370 yards on 74 targets while seeing action in all 17 regular-season games.

Struggles with ball security
Warren rushed the ball nine times for 33 yards in Saturday's 17-10 win over the Ravens. He added five receptions on five targets for 17 yards and also lost a fumble.
Analysis: The game was played in rainy conditions, which led to some sloppy play. Warren was one of the culprits by fumbling twice, one of which was recovered deep in Baltimore territory. He wasn't benched for any lengthy period of time as a result, but he was far out-touched and out-played by Najee Harris. Despite the disappointing close to the regular season, Warren had a breakout season by tallying 1,154 yards from scrimmage to go along with four total touchdowns.

Narrowly misses 100 yards
Warren rushed the ball 13 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Seahawks. He added four receptions on four targets for 23 yards.
Analysis: Warren worked behind Najee Harris and was nearly doubled in total touches, though he was very efficient with his opportunity. His longest gain of the day went for 23 yards, and he also tallied Pittsburgh's first score of the game with an 18-yard scamper late in the first quarter.

Narrowly misses 100 yards
Warren rushed the ball 13 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Seahawks. He added four receptions on four targets for 23 yards.

Eight carries, five catches in win
Warren rushed eight times for 24 yards and caught five of six targets for 30 yards in Saturday's 34-11 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Najee Harris worked as Pittsburgh's primary option on the ground, rushing 19 times for 78 yards and a touchdown, but Warren caught five passes for a second consecutive game while Harris went without a target Saturday. Warren has reached 50 rushing yards only five times in 15 games, but his steady involvement as a pass catcher gives Warren a respectable PPR floor for a Week 17 matchup with the Seahawks.

Paces Steelers in scrimmage yards
Warren rushed the ball 10 times for 40 yards in Saturday's 30-13 loss to the Colts. He added five receptions on six targets for 28 yards.
Analysis: Warren led the Pittsburgh backfield with 15 touches and led the team in scrimmage yards. While that says more about the state of the Steelers' offense than Warren's production, he did manage a pair of gains of more than 10 yards. He's had both inconsistent usage and production much of the season, though he now has at least five targets in consecutive games and should remain the lead pass catcher out of the backfield while splitting carries with Najee Harris moving forward.

Compiles 40 total yards in loss
Warren rushed seven times for 11 yards and secured four of five targets for 29 yards in the Steelers' 21-18 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.
Analysis: Warren turned in his most inefficient game of the season on the ground, although his receiving yardage total was his highest since Week 5. The second-year pro logged five fewer carries than backfield mate Najee Harris overall, and although he was more involved than the latter in the passing game, Warren figures to remain in a complementary role in a Week 15 road matchup against the Colts a week from Saturday.

Efficient on limited chances
Warren rushed the ball nine times for 59 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Warren saw his workload diminish to its lowest mark since Week 8. He was still efficient on the ground, with his longest gain of the day going for 18 yards. More concerning was Warren's lack of involvement as a pass catcher, as he failed to record multiple receptions for just the second time this season. After briefly challenging for the lead-back role in Pittsburgh, he seems to have firmly slipped behind Najee Harris on the depth chart and will likely be reliant upon big plays for his…read more

Steps back against Cincy
Warren rushed the ball 13 times for 49 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals. He added three receptions on three targets for 13 yards.
Analysis: Warren lost a fumble early in the game, though he wasn't benched as a result. He nearly matched Najee Harris in workload on the ground and was more involved as pass catcher, though unlike how things have panned out much of the season, Harris bested him in terms of efficiency. Despite the average performance, the Steelers have been committed to splitting the backfield between Harris and Warren, and that's likely to be the case once again in Week 13 against Arizona.

Top playmaker in Pittsburgh
Warren rushed the ball nine times for 129 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. He added three receptions for 13 yards.
Analysis: Warren was the lone bright spot of the Pittsburgh offense, as he accounted for the team's only touchdown with a 74-yard rush early in the second half. He had other big gains of 11, nine and eight yards, and on the rare occasion the Steelers were able to move the ball, Warren was responsible. He's now topped 100 yards in consecutive games and should continue to get plenty of opportunity while working alongside Najee Harris.

Another big game
Warren rushed 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers. He also caught two of four targets for nine yards.
Analysis: Warren followed last week's career-best rushing tally by posting a new personal high Sunday. The tailback had a couple long runs, including a 16-yard touchdown during the second quarter. His production came while starter Najee Harris also had a good game, rushing 16 times for 82 yards and a score of his own. Despite sharing snaps, Warren's stock continues to rise ahead of Week 11's divisional clash with the Browns.

Career-best performance in win
Warren rushed 11 times for 88 yards and secured all three targets for 25 yards in the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday night.
Analysis: Warren broke out for a career-best rushing yardage tally, notably outgaining backfield mate Najee Harris by 19 yards on five fewer carries. Despite his stellar effort Thursday, which also saw Warren come a half-yard short of the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, it's likely Harris remains the lead back in terms of workload during a favorable Week 10 home matchup against the Packers on Nov. 12.

Tallies 38 yards from scrimmage
Warren rushed five times for 19 yards while securing four of five targets for 19 yards during the Steelers' 20-10 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday.
Analysis: Warren led the Steelers in rushing yards Sunday, but he still struggled to provide much of a spark as the team's offense continued to falter. The 24-year-old has provided some fantasy value while sharing backfield work with Najee Harris, but Warren hasn't displayed much upside, especially on the ground. The second-year pro has rushed 45 times for 175 yards and a touchdown while securing 26 of 32 targets for 184 yards over the first seven games of the season.

Finds end zone in win
Warren rushed six times for 32 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for minus-1 yard in the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Warren put together a typically efficient performance while recording his first touchdown of the campaign on a 13-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter. The OSU product wasn't able to contribute in the passing game as usual, but he remains a very effective complementary option to Najee Harris heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Jaguars.
