Jaylen Warren has a chance to be the clear lead back for the Pittsburgh Steelers in a way he has never been before. Even if he functions only as a primary passing-down back, the Steelers target running backs more than any other team in the NFL, providing significant opportunity.

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. Seventh-eighth round value in expensive running back market provides bankable production for playoff teams. Mattek Fantasy Football explicitly calls Warren one of the five running backs they are betting their entire season on.PositiveProjectionJul 9, 2026
