Jaylen Warren Carries Fringe RB1 Status on Thursday Night Football

Wednesday, September 30, 4:58 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had a career-best performance in Week 3 and should continue to operate in a workhorse role against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. With Rico Dowdle (toe) set to miss a second consecutive contest, Warren's competition for snaps will likely remain Travis Homer and Lew Nichols, who combined for two total touches last week. Warren, meanwhile, handled 17 carries and four targets, turning his 21 opportunities into 176 yards. Cleveland looks like a tough matchup for fantasy running backs on paper, but it is surrendering 4.75 yards per rush attempt to the position, the fifth-highest mark in the league. However, the Browns have yet to allow a rushing touchdown through three games. Fantasy managers should view this as a middle-of-the-road matchup but remain confident in Warren as a volume-based top-12 fantasy option.

Ladd McConkey Seen Walking Out of Locker Room with a Limp

Thursday, October 1, 6:52 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice on Thursday due to a foot injury after logging a limited session on Wednesday. According to Kris Rhim of ESPN, McConkey was seen walking out of the locker room with a limp. McConkey's status for a Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks seems cloudy at best right now. McConkey has amassed 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 183 yards (15.3 yards per reception) and a touchdown through three games in 2026 . McConkey was already dealing with a rib injury as well, but he is yet to miss a game. If McConkey is out of the lineup, the Chargers will rely on wide receivers Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, tight end Oronde Gadsden and others in the passing game in Week 4 against the Seahawks.
