Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell exploded in Week 4's game in Ireland, but fantasy managers should temper expectations moving forward. With Jaylen Warren sidelined against the Minnesota Vikings, Gainwell took full advantage of the opportunity, racking up 134 total yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. With Warren practicing ahead of Week 6, the former Eagles back will return to his RB2 role in the offense. A tough Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns looms large, as Cleveland has allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL through five weeks. Even if he continues to earn touches behind Warren, Gainwell remains a risky fantasy start this week.

The Tennessee Titans are placing rookie running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, per ESPN's Turron Davenport. Mullings has been active for two games so far in 2025, but has yet to record an NFL carry. He will now be sidelined for at least the Titans' next four games and will be first eligible to return in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. Tennessee is activating running back Jordan Mims for their Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans, but veteran back Tony Pollard should be expected to see a heavy workload. The Titans could soon get some backfield help in the form of Tyjae Spears (ankle), who is eligible to return from IR in Week 5.
