Jaylen WarrenRB

Jaylen Warren is a second-round pick averaging 13.5 PPG last season despite sharing backfield with Kenneth Gainwell; now shares with Rico Dowdle but benefits from Aaron Rodgers' check-down tendency and improved Steelers offense. Career metrics: 4.5+ yards per carry, above-average rushing yards over expectation, 22%+ juke rate annually, 6+ yards per target. Despite repeated backfield additions (Najee Harris, Gainwell, Caleb Johnson draft pick), Warren consistently returns to production.
