Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson will hope to tally a fourth consecutive victory in a Week 11 bout with the 7-3 Baltimore Ravens. Although Baltimore's defense has been stingy against the run this season, it is the second-best matchup for fantasy quarterbacks and surrenders the most passing yards per contest in the NFL. The Ravens have given up a top-12 quarterback performance in six of 10 games. This divisional clash is tied for the highest-projected point total of the week, so we should see plenty of scoring in what could become a shootout. Wilson has been incredibly effective through three starts with a 105.9 passer rating and seven total touchdowns to one interception. Outside of the elite tier of fantasy quarterbacks with rushing upside, there aren't many options that should be started ahead of Wilson this week. The 35-year-old can be viewed as a solid QB1 in all formats on Sunday.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (back) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Warren sat out of Thursday's practice due to a back issue and was able to get through a limited session on Friday. His status seems uncertain heading into this weekend's game which should mean more carries for Najee Harris. Warren rushed 14 times for 66 yards during last week's win over the Washington Commanders. Cordarrelle Patterson will likely see an uptick if touches if Warren sits, but he doesn't offer great upside. Harris is going to gain the most fantasy value from Warren's absence, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Harris didn't practice to open the week, but appears ready to go after getting in a full practice on Thursday and Friday. The expectation is that Harris will continue seeing a heavy workload this weekend. He has seen 19 carries or more over each of the last three games. Harris rushed for over 100 yards in two of those games, so fantasy managers should continue to lean on him going forward.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (back) popped up on the Week 11 injury report due to a back injury and was unable to practice on Thursday. Mid-week injuries are usually a bad sign, so Warren's status for the Week 11 divisional tilt against the Baltimore Ravens is now firmly up in the air. It's bad timing, too, as the 26-year-old has seen a bigger role in the backfield alongside Najee Harris in recent weeks. If Warren is unable to suit up this Sunday, it will give Harris an even higher fantasy ceiling and ensure him a healthy number of touches against a Baltimore defense that has been a tough matchup for fantasy RBs in 2024. Warren being inactive would also mean a bigger role out of the backfield as a change-of-pace option for Cordarrelle Patterson. Warren's practice status on Friday may ultimately determine whether he'll be active in Week 11.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (ankle) returned to the team's practice and was a full-go on Thursday and looked to be just fine while running the football. Harris apparently picked up an ankle injury in the Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday and was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday. It appears the Steelers were just giving the 26-year-old a day of rest on Wednesday, and he should be all systems go for Sunday's big divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens. Jaylen Warren (back) didn't practice on Thursday and could be in danger of missing this weekend's game, which would give Harris even more fantasy upside as an RB2. The Ravens defense hasn't been the greatest matchup for RBs from a fantasy perspective this year, but Harris should see enough volume to keep him on the RB2 map.
