Isaac Redman will get the start versus the Chiefs on Monday night. Redman broke the news to Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly. This has been the feeling all week after Redman ran for 147 yards and a touchdown against the Giants last week. Jonathan Dwyer will be the backup while Rashard Mendenhall rests his Achilles' one more week. Rotoworld's Chris Wesseling ranks Redman as the No. 23 running back for Week 10, but that could go up a few ticks on Sunday morning with Saturday's confirmation.

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "all signs" point to Isaac Redman starting versus the Chiefs Monday night. The Trib-Review has drawn the same conclusion as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette, who has the feeling coach Mike Tomlin will "stick with" Redman's hot hand from Week 9. The breakdown between Redman and Jonathan Dwyer will depend on game momentum and the success they have with their carries Monday night. Both backs are flex options for Week 10. Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) is expected to sit out one more game.

Coach Mike Tomlin said the running back that "gets the totes" Monday night versus the Chiefs will be the one that develops the hot hand. "I really think it's that simple," said Tomlin. "Whoever's effective, they'll get the ball." The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette opined to 93.7 The Fan Tuesday that Jonathan Dwyer (quad) deserves the start, but "I get the feeling (Tomlin) is going to stick with Isaac Redman" because he was higher on the depth chart and is coming off 147 yards against the Super Bowl champions.

Ben Roethlisberger referred to the Steelers' running backs as "our three-headed monster."

Isaac Redman stepped up in the absence of Jonathan Dwyer and Rashard Mendenhall in Week 9, rushing 26 times for 147 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's 24-20 win over the Giants. He added two catches for four yards. Averaging 2.5 yards on his first 50 carries coming into this afternoon, Redman gutted the Giants' shaky run defense, pin-balling through holes and off defenders in a respectable Ray Rice impression. Nine of his 26 carries went for five yards or more. It's likely today will go down as the usually lead-footed Redman's best performance of the season, but he's still worth adding as an RB5 in case neither Dwyer nor Mendenhall can answer the bell in Week 10.

Isaac Redman (ankle) is listed as probable for Week 9 against the Giants, and is expected to start. Redman lacks any hint of legitimate upside due to his bottom-barrel running ability, but there are worse Week 9 flex options out there. He should be in store for no fewer than 14 touches against the G-Men, as Jonathan Dwyer and Rashard Mendenhall are both doubtful to play. Look for Chris Rainey, the rookie gadget back, and third-down option Baron Batch to back up Redman.

Isaac Redman (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Redman got in a week of limited practices last week before missing his second consecutive game. He's on track to play against the Giants, but with both Jonathan Dwyer (quad) and Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) trending in the right direction, as well, Redman is off the fantasy radar.

Isaac Redman (ankle) will practice Wednesday. Redman practiced on a limited basis last week, but was held out of the win over the Redskins. It looks like he'll be available for at least some third-down duties in Week 9.

Isaac Redman (ankles) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Redskins. Redman is tentatively expected to play Sunday, and should bypass Baron Batch as Pittsburgh's primary third-down back behind Jonathan Dwyer. Redman is believed to be battling injuries on both ankles. It's hard to imagine the Steelers giving him many carries at significantly less than 100-percent health.

Steelers RB Isaac Redman is reportedly battling problems with both ankles. Redman practiced on Friday, and reportedly felt so good that he now believes he has a chance to play Sunday versus the Redskins. If he does suit up, Redman is likely to be limited to a passing-down role behind Jonathan Dwyer. Rashard Mendenhall is expected to return in Week 9.
