Jalen Warren is ranked RB 11 and has played 93% of snaps since week two without Rico Doudal on the field; the source emphasizes 'it's just all Jalen Warren' on short rest against the Browns. He's described as 'by far the most explosive player' and a top-10 running back last week; the Steelers' offensive line looked very good, and he's projected for 101.5 total yards. Three running backs have gotten 15+ touches for the Browns this season, suggesting Warren's volume might be close to a career high.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026

Since week two, Warren has played 106 of 114 snaps (93%) without Rico Dattle; at 93% snap share, he qualifies as a low-end RB1. Seven running backs this season with over 90% team touches averaged 21.5 PPR points in those games, a tier that includes Jahmeer Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, and James Cook. Warren scored 19.1 half-PPR points in week three with RB14 usage; the turf monster was the primary reason he wasn't a top-three or top-four fantasy running back that week.PositiveRoleSep 30, 2026
