The Pittsburgh Steelers' RB depth chart might be just a bit confusing heading into Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season.
It's something that fantasy football managers are trying to figure out for start-sit decisions as they decide what to do with Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren.
Warren was out with injury two weeks ago against the Vikings in Dublin, and Gainwell had a big game.
Then the Steelers had a bye in Week 5, and now Warren is back, so there's been a lot of change.
What to do in Week 6? It might be easier than you'd think.

Should I start Kenneth Gainwell or Jaylen Warren in fantasy Week 6?
This actually is a pretty simple answer: Warren.
Gainwell has merit as a FLEX consideration, and he may lower Warren's workload slightly after that big Dublin game.
But the last time these two guys were both healthy and playing was Week 3. And in that game, Warren had 18 carries, and Gainwell had four.
Without information that immediately suggests otherwise, why would anything change now?
Gainwell got 19 carries in Dublin without Warren, but that may have legitimately just been him getting what usually would've been Warren's workload.
Now that Warren is back, as long as the Steelers feel he is healthy and up to speed, he should take back over his RB1 role (that also includes some solid pass catching for PPR players, too).
