Ranking Every Week 4 Running Back as a Sit or Start

All right, kicking things off with the most Thursday Night Football game of all time.

We've got Pittsburgh at Cleveland.

This is a 38 and a half point total.

That is a rare sight in today's NFL.

Uh, the Steelers are favored by two and a half points in the dog pound.

First running back we gotta look at is Jaylen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now, if we look at the practice reports here, we do have double DNPs starting off the week for Rico Dowdle.

Does look like he's dealing with an actual turf toe.

You know, definitely leaning towards him not playing.

Never say never.

If he gets a limited in on Wednesday, today you'll see practice reports a little bit later.

I am filming this around 10:00 AM on Wednesday, so I don't have any Wednesday practice reports for you guys unfortunately.

Uh, but I wanna get this out as early as possible for you.

Yeah, if he gets into limited today, possibly plays on Thursday, this does seem like he is definitely trending the wrong way here.

So with him out, Jaylen Warren obviously exploded last week.

This is just one of those backfields when you condense it, they combine for a ton of touches, you know, when it's them two, and then they really just give the one guy all of them when the other one is absent.

So Warren, for me, I mean, he was awesome last week.

I mean, he was already great in fantasy, and then left a ton of points on the field for penalties and tripping over himself and whatever.

He actually could've been like w- maybe the top running back o- on the, uh, slate last week.

But he's going right into a must-start category, assuming Rico Dowdle is out.

On the flip side, Quinshon Judkins still projected per Vegas for 69 total yards, and I get it.

You know, he got up to like 70-ish.

He had one of his better games of the week last week against a, uh, pretty forgiving Carolina run defense.

That being said, though, Judkins is just kind of a useless 15 touches unfortunately.

Uh, you know, the Steelers run defense has not been great.
