Jaylen Warren listed as Steelers Starting Running Back

Tuesday, August 5, 10:13 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was listed as the top running back on the team's initial preseason depth chart. Veteran Kenneth Gainwell is listed behind only Warren, while rookie Kaleb Johnson is the third back on the depth chart. Johnson has been struggling with pass coverage, according to reports, which could limit his role early in the season and give Warren and Gainwell a chance to dominate the workload. Warren has always been excellent in pass coverage and could benefit from Aaron Rodgers' tendency to check down to running backs. Johnson could still earn short-yardage and goal-line work as the preseason continues, but for now, Warren looks to be the clear frontrunner for work in the Steelers' backfield.

Rachaad White 'Day-To-Day' For Bucs

Monday, August 11, 10:57 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that running back Rachaad White (hamstring) is "day-to-day," according to Pewter Report. The third-year back figures to be a key part of the Bucs' offense when healthy, but the club surely will be cautious with nearly a month to spare before Week 1 games. Managers should keep an eye on the situation, as the prospect of a lingering injury will surely impact draft-day values for both White and backfield mate Bucky Irving.
