BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren appears to finally be back at full health, and he recorded his highest touch total (15) in Week 7 as a result. He'll now face a New York Giants defense that appears to be a good matchup for him. They've allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game to running backs this season.
Probably the biggest forgotten play last night. Facing a possible three-and-out after blocking the Jets FG, Russ is able to use his legs to escape pressure and find Jaylen Warren who does the rest.
Turned into an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to go up 30-15 in the 4th.

Warren is the primary pass-catching running back for the Steelers this season. He should see his target volume increase now that he's healthy -- he was targeted 61 times over 17 games in 2023, good for 3.6 per game. It wouldn't be surprising if he sees five or more in Week 7.
His new starting quarterback, Russell Wilson, checked the ball down relentlessly in 2023. He should be started for his nice PPR-scam potential on Monday.
