BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren's role in the Pittsburgh Steelers offense keeps expanding, and his latest game showed why he deserves attention. In Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders, he ran the ball 14 times for 65 yards, averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per carry. Running back Najee Harris averaged only 2.5 yards on 21 carries.
Warren also caught his two targets for another 29 yards, giving him a season-high 16 touches. His ability to catch passes boosts his fantasy value, especially in PPR leagues.
Although the Oklahoma State product does not get many goal-line carries and did lose a fumble, the 26-year-old's explosive style keeps him relevant.
And as soon as I post this, Jaylen Warren fumbles. The ball is clearly out as long as the refs didn't blow the whistle. UGH! #HereWeGo https://t.co/OpUgwdS5kx

Harris, meanwhile, scored his third touchdown in four games but briefly left with an ankle injury. He later returned, but if he is limited in future games, Warren could see more work. Even with Harris healthy, Warren's pass-catching skill makes him valuable to Pittsburgh's offense.
The third-year player has a solid floor as a flex option in 10+ team leagues and offers upside if Harris misses time. Despite a tough Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, the running back is worth a roster spot. If he is available on waivers, he is worth adding.
