Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren played a season-low 33% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Ravens. His share and 26 total snaps marked a dip vs. Week 10 but lined up more closely with Warren's Week 9 role. He notably trailed Najee Harris 21-13 in pass routes, though, an area in which Warren had reclaimed a lead over the previous three weeks.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He popped up on the injury report on Thursday but got in a limited practice on Friday. The back injury adds risk to a guy who already looked like just a RB3 or Flex play in this matchup.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter report that Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. Pittsburgh elevated RB Jonathan Ward from the practice squad on Saturday, but that's "considered a precaution," Rapoport adds. It sounds like Warren just needs to pass pre-game tests to play today. The back injury adds risk to what was already a tough rushing matchup. But Warren could be busier than usual in the passing game. The Ravens have allowed the sixth most catches to RBs this season.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for more information on Warren and get Pittsburgh’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Najee Harris (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren was added to the injury report with a back and did not practice on Thursday. We don't have any other details on his status right now, but his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens is now in question. Check back tomorrow for another update on Warren.
Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Commanders on Sunday for the first time since Week 4. Patterson averaged 4.0 carries and 1.8 targets over the first four games of the season. He’s not a fantasy option but could put a slight dent in RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren’s volume.
Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 19 times for 114 yards in Monday's win over the Giants. He caught 3 of 4 targets for 17 yards, a stat line that includes one drop.
Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He put in three limited practices this week but will now aim for a return after a Week 9 bye. RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren will continue to handle backfield touches for Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) got in a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a chance to return for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. Patterson isn't a fantasy option, but he'd likely steal a few touches from RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 21 times for 102 yards and 1 TD in a Week 7 win over the Jets. He’s now posted two straight games over 100 rushing yards for just the second time in his career.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren was upgraded today and now has no injury designation for Week 6 against the Raiders. Warren has dealt with hamstring and knee injuries during the offseason and season so far. He could see a prominent role in the Steelers' run game with Najee Harris being ineffective so far this year.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, which seemingly puts him on track to play, despite HC Mike Tomlin labeling him doubtful early in the week. Warren would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 3, but his return puts a significant dent in RB Najee Harris’ workload projection.
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin ruled RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out and labeled RB Jaylen Warren (knee) doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. Making those proclamations so early in the week doesn't bode well for either guy's availability for Week 7. The Steelers have a Week 9 bye, and it's possible we don't see either guy before then. RB Najee Harris will again dominate backfield touches for Pittsburgh this weekend. He's tallied 27 carries and eight targets over the last two weeks, although it hasn't resulted in many fantasy points.
Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) are out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. Both missed practice all week. Their absences leave Aaron Shampklin as Pittsburgh’s No. 2 RB. Najee Harris should handle a heavy workload against Dallas.
Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) were held out of Wednesday's practice. They're both iffy for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. If they miss, Pittsburgh would be down to Aaron Shampklin as the No. 2 RB behind Najee Harris. Expect Harris to be very busy in that case.
Steelers RB Najee Harris managed only 19 yards on 13 carries in Sunday's loss to the Colts. Although the final found Pittsburgh just 3 points behind, Indianapolis jumped out to a 17-0 lead before 3 minutes were gone in the second quarter. That helped Harris log just 6 first-half carries (for 5 yards). The RB boosted his fantasy line a bit with 54 yards on 3 receptions. His 6 targets ranked third on the team, behind George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth.
