Warren has maximized his productivity on a per-touch basis in the past, but he doesn't bring the same level of physicality as Dowdle, who is a superior short-yardage option. Warren's above-average pass protection skills and rapport with quarterback Aaron Rodgers will still allow him to remain on the field during third downs and in obvious passing situations, but Dowdle should lead the Steelers in carries when all is said and done.

Warren retains third-down role but Dowdle should lead in carries and goal-line work.

Warren will compete with Rico Dowdle for carries in Pittsburgh in a similar scenario to what Dowdle faced in Carolina. Warren has maximized his productivity on a per-touch basis in the past and brings above-average pass protection skills and rapport with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which will allow him to remain on the field during third downs and obvious passing situations. However, Dowdle is a superior short-yardage option, and short-yardage and goal-line situations will go to Dowdle. The source expects Dowdle to lead the Steelers in carries when all is said and done.
