Jaylen Warren was the backup to Rico Dowdle in Week 1. Yes, if you look at the boxscore it doesn't look like that, as Warren finished with 15 touches and 73 total yards... but he only played 35.9% of the snaps, had a 30.2% route share, and he didn't see any red zone rushing attempts... When he was on the field, Warren was his same explosive self, posting 3.0 yards after contact per attempt. Warren could be an RB2 in Week 2 if he sees a similar workload against the Pats.

Positive signalProjection

Warren's explosive efficiency and favorable matchup support RB2 upside if snap share increases in Week 2.

Warren was the backup to Rico Dowdle in Week 1 despite finishing with 15 touches and 73 total yards as RB25. However, he played only 35.9% of snaps, had 30.2% route share, and saw no red zone rushing attempts. His fumble in the first quarter may have contributed to his reduced role. When on the field, Warren posted 3.0 yards after contact per attempt, displaying his explosive nature. The source suggests Warren could be an RB2 in Week 2 if he sees a similar workload against New England. The Pats allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate, 11th-most yards after contact per attempt, and sixth-lowest stuff rate in Week 1.
