Bottom Line

Warren was an effective weapon on limited touches in 2022, surprising many as a UDFA offseason signee.

Should his role in the Steelers offense grow, we could be looking at one of the high-end RB handcuffs in all of fantasy football this year.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Warren signed with the Steelers as a UDFA out of Oklahoma State, eventually winning the No. 2 job over Benny Snell Jr. out of training camp.
  • He missed a pair of games with a hamstring injury.
  • While he only saw four games with 10+ opportunities (carries + targets) as a rookie, Warren recorded top-36 weekly finishes in each of those games (five overall).
  • Among 55 RBs who recorded 75+ carries in 2022, Warren ranked:
    • 8th in Pro Football Focus’ Elusive Rating
    • 4th in PFF receiving grade
    • 20th in yards after contact per attempt (3.08)
What to Expect in 2023
  • Warren should be considered a premium RB handcuff in 2023 with potential standalone fantasy value.
  • Early reports out of Steelers camp indicate that the team is exploring ways to get Warren onto the field more. A player like Warren with more playing times/touches can be a matchup-dependent flex option.
  • The Steelers also didn’t add much to the backfield beyond UDFA Alfonzo Graham. Warren’s role as the No. 2 RB on the depth chart is reasonably safe. He’s only one Najee Harris injury away from a significant role in a run-heavy offense.

Najee Harris, RB PIT

12:46am EDT 9/25/23

Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren net modest returns

Steelers RB Najee Harris posted 19 carries for 65 rushing yards vs. the Raiders on Sunday night. Teammate Jaylen Warren logged 29 rushing yards on 8 carries in addition to hauling 3 of 4 targets for 23 yards as a receiver. Even though the duo saw a larger workload divide between them in this contest, Warren outscored Harris in PPR with 8.2 and 6.5 points, respectively. The Raiders’ defense has been a soft matchup so far in 2023. The fact that neither back could capitalize on this opportunity speaks to the deficiencies the Steelers’ offense still has to work through. They’ll have a chance to improve upon this outing next week vs. the Texans.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is in for more work in the running game vs. the Raiders on Sunday night, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. RB Najee Harris is "still very much a big part of their plans," Garafolo adds. We'll see exactly how this backfield shakes out tonight. Harris and Warren sit close to each other in RB3 territory in the Week 3 Rankings.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that RB Jaylen Warren deserves more touches going forward. He racked up 86 yards on 10 touches in Monday night's win over the Browns, while Najee Harris totaled 44 yards on his 11 touches. "You know, he's just making plays when given the opportunity," Tomlin said of Warren. "And I think that's a reasonable expectation. There's a guy that did similar things as a young guy a year ago and as a rookie and has done some really good things in the team development process. And so, it's probably a natural maturation process for it to transpire in stadium, and it's probably a natural maturation process for us to give him more opportunities for it to transpire in stadium." You'll find Harris and Warren extremely close in our Rest-of-Season RB Rankings.

Steelers RB Najee Harris ended Week 2 with 10 carries for 43 rushing yards vs. the Browns. Teammate Jaylen Warren logged 20 rushing yards on 6 carries in addition to hauling 4 catches on 6 targets for 66 yards as a receiver. Most of Harris' yardage came on two runs in the third quarter. He was otherwise stuffed at the line throughout the contest. The Steelers are still splitting the workshare between Harris and Warren fairly evenly (13 and 12 touch opportunities, respectively). Still, it isn't easy to justify relying on either for fantasy production. Warren presents a modest upside in half or full-PPR formats in Week 3 vs. the Raiders.

Steelers RB Najee Harris recorded 6 attempts for 31 rushing yards in Week 1 vs. the 49ers. He also added a pair of catches for 2 yards as a receiver in the loss. Teammate Jaylen Warren received 3 carries for 6 yards and caught 5 of 6 targets for 12 yards. The Steelers split the backfield touch opportunities fairly evenly (Harris with 8, Warren with 9) on Sunday, though neither player was particularly strong. It’s also worth mentioning that Harris ran 24 receiving routes to Warren’s 19, so the usage still skews a little bit in the direction of the former first-round NFL draft pick. The duo will have an opportunity to rebound against the Browns in Week 2 on Monday night.

Dynasty Write-up
Warren came on late last year, proving capable as a complimentary piece behind Najee Harris. The former UDFA adds value in the passing game and kept up his momentum with a strong offseason. The Oklahoma State product turns 25 in November.
