BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Warren’s usage and production were unexceptional until his final season at the collegiate level, which combined with his status as an undrafted free agent to leave him largely undetected by the fantasy radar throughout most of the offseason. However, he continues to operate as the unchallenged backup to Najee Harris, which has elevated him among the most enticing handcuffs that are available to fantasy managers.
Harris continues to function as the Steelers' workhorse back, as he has accumulated 58 rushing attempts while assembling 202 yards on the ground entering Week 5.
Warren has carried 14 times and generated 70 rushing yards, but he would instantly confiscate a significant touch total if Harris would become unavailable for any reason. Warren’s stock would also skyrocket if that scenario were to develop, which would elevate him to the periphery of RB1 status for fantasy managers.
That should incentivize anyone who is depending on Harris as a mainstay in their lineups to seize Warren, as that will avert a sizable crisis if Harris is sidelined. All other managers can also stash Warren as a potential resource if Harris encounters a health issue during the season.
