The Pittsburgh Steelers and their fanbase get off to an earlier start than usual in Week 4.

With the Steelers taking on the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, the game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. back home in Pennsylvania.

That means that anyone worried about their fantasy football lineups, in particular, has to be on top of things.

And for Jaylen Warren, there's at least a bit of a question about his availability.

Is Jaylen Warren playing in Week 4?

Jaylen Warren is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 4.

He was added to the injury report on Friday with a knee issue.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Warren is "expected to play."

The Steelers did promote RB Trey Sermon from the practice squad to the active roster, but that's not as telling as you'd think. Pittsburgh made that move in Week 3 and just had four RBs active on gameday.

If Warren were out, Kenneth Gainwell would see a heavy workload with some likely supplemental work for rookie Kaleb Johnson.

But for now, it sounds like Warren is good to go.
