Warren is the kind of back who ties the room together as your RB2 or RB3 if you went receiver heavy to start the draft. He can do a little bit of everything but usually does a lotta bit of everything. That didn't include his usual receiving load in 2025, but it should come roaring back with Kenneth Gainwell now a Buc. Always out there doing something and ready to contribute in manifold ways, Warren is a "glue guy" fantasy pick you might not want to make in the moment but will be happy you did so later.NegativeInjurySep 2, 2026

Warren was finally freed from behind Najee Harris and saw a career-high 251 touches last season. He ranked top-20 among backs with at least 100 rushes in success rate and explosive rate, totaling 211 carries for 958 yards and 40 receptions for 333 yards. He now gets a new backfield running mate in former Cowboy Rico Dowdle. Warren looks to be more of the receiver out of the backfield while Dowdle profiles better as the downhill runner. Warren has the edge given his tenure in Pittsburgh and familiarity with Rodgers. He is a borderline RB2 heading into the season.
