What Did Jaylen Warren Do In Week 7?

Warren in Week 7 looked to get back on pace after seeing little usage in previous games this season. Warren saw a season-high 51 percent of snaps played while he totaled 12 rushes for 44 yards and two receptions for fifteen yards against the New York Jets in Wilson's first start for the Steelers.

The previous week, Warren led all Pittsburgh players in receiving against Houston. He caught six passes for 26 yards against the Texans. His receiving production boosts Warren in PPR.

From Week 3 through Week 5, Warren ranks as the RB24 in PPR. If he can keep up that production after the bye week, Warren will be a low-end RB2 and a high-end RB3/flex.
