Jaylen Warren suffered a hamstring strain in the game vs. the Bills this weekend, putting his status for Week 1 vs. the Falcons in question. He is expected to miss “multiple weeks.” So what does this mean for fantasy football players?

The Steelers indicating he is doubtful for the first game already is not a great sign for the runner. If Warren is to miss time, Najee Harris will get a bump and handle the majority of the workload. Cordarelle Patterson could also see some extra carries, but he is not worth a draft pick unless we get more serious news about Warren in the coming days.
