Jaylen Warren injury update from Steelers' inactive report creates final fantasy decision image

The Pittsburgh Steelers released their inactive report for Monday Night Football 90 minutes before kickoff.

Jaylen Warren's name wasn't on it.

That means the RB is active for the Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

He was added to the injury report earlier Monday with an illness and listed as questionable.

But apparently Warren is feeling good enough to take the field and play.

Should I start Jaylen Warren in fantasy?

Yes, if Warren is in your lineup, keep him in.

The Steelers wouldn't have made him active if they didn't think he'd get close to his normal workload.

Kenneth Gainwell might get a few more touches than usual, but it's highly unlikely you have an obvious alternative for Warren with all other games in the books.

The only possible pivot would be a guy like DK Metcalf or Jaylen Waddle in a FLEX spot if they somehow weren't in your lineup already.

Warren should stay in over Gainwell if you've got them both, unless any report emerges just before kickoff saying otherwise.
