Jaylen Warren Expects To Play In Week 1
4 months agoPittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (hamstring) said his hamstring is feeling much better and that he expects to play in Week 1 on Sept. 8 against the Atlanta Falcons in just under two weeks. Warren was seen at training camp practice on Monday, but he's not doing all the drills as the Steelers slowly get him back into the fold from a hamstring injury that he suffered in the second preseason game. When the 25-year-old is fully healthy, he's expected to once again operate as a co-starter in Pittsburgh's backfield in 2024 alongside Najee Harris. The third-year back's fantasy ceiling is limited as long as Harris remains healthy, but Warren looked like the better back more often in 2023, averaging 5.3 yards per carry while also catching 61 passes for 370 yards through the air. Warren is a fine fantasy target as an RB3/flex, especially if his draft price has fallen due to his injury in camp.
