ANALYSIS: It is understandable if you have watched Jaylen Warren perform effectively this season and wondered why he hasn’t been entrusted with a larger workload. Warren entered Pittsburgh’s bye week averaging 5.3 yards per attempt, which were a full 2.0 yards higher than the inefficient 3.3 per carry that has been registered by Najee Harris during his first eight matchups.
However, even though it might appear justified to entrust Warren with a higher percentage of carries, he is still being limited to just 3.6 per game. Harris has secured a 68.6% snap share and is averaging 13.5 attempts per game. Harris could easily commandeer similar usage during Pittsburgh’s upcoming matchups, which will continue to impede Warren from attaining standalone value.
However, Warren’s role as Pittsburgh’s RB2 is unchallenged. This makes him an exceptional handcuff for anyone who has been progressing through the season with Harris on their rosters. All other managers should also be incentivized to target Warren as he would become a weekly RB2 if Harris would be sidelined for any reason.
