Jaylen Warren Poised to Build on Strong Showing

Friday, December 26, 8:31 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (hip) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and does not carry an injury designation into a Week 17 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. There is a chance, however, that Warren's workload could be limited depending on the outcome of the Baltimore Ravens' contest on Saturday. If the Green Bay Packers defeat the Ravens, Pittsburgh will clinch the AFC North title regardless of Sunday's result. In that scenario, the Steelers could choose to limit reps or rest starters entirely, so fantasy managers will need to monitor the situation up until game time. Assuming Warren plays his normal role, he should find success against a struggling Browns defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs over the past eight weeks. He would be a borderline must-start and should be viewed as a fantasy RB2 if active.

Kyren Williams News

Kyren Williams Estimated as Limited on Wednesday

Wednesday, December 31, 6:15 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Williams suffered a minor ankle injury in Monday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was able to return to the game. Meanwhile, fellow RB Blake Corum sprained his ankle in the second quarter and never returned. With Corum out in the second half, Williams saw more work out of the backfield for the Rams as they attempted a comeback. If Corum is unable to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, the 25-year-old Williams could see a bigger workload again, although Ronnie Rivers would also be mixed in. The Rams are fully expected to play their starters in Week 18 to keep them fresh going into the postseason.
