Steelers RB Jaylen Warren suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Saturday night's preseason game vs. the Bills. The team labeled him doubtful to return (which he obviously won't).

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

We'll look for updates on the severity of this hamstring injury and Warren's timeline for return. We're 22 days from Pittsburgh's regular-season opener vs. the Falcons.

Other Winners & Losers

If Warren misses regular-season time, RB Najee Harris would get workhorse volume. RB Cordarrelle Patterson would also likely see an uptick in volume, but he'd still be unlikely to be a fantasy factor.
