BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren was available in over 70% of all leagues as the regular season commenced. However, he has consistently demonstrated a higher level of efficiency than Najee Harris, and fantasy managers have steadily secured him for their rosters. This was a byproduct of optimism that Warren would eventually be entrusted with an expanded workload.
That has now transpired, as the second-year back’s snap share has gradually ascended from 4o% to 49% during Pittsburgh’s five matchups. Warren has also run more routes than Harris (61/59), and easily leads the backfield in targets (25/8).

Warren also accumulated 32 snaps when the Steelers hosted Baltimore in Week 5, while Harris played on 37. Warren carried nine times and generated a team-high 40 rushing yards. He also ran 14 routes while generating 39 receiving yards.
Both backs are now operating with similar weekly snap shares and touch totals. However, Warren’s expanded involvement has propelled him to standalone value. This elevates him into consideration as a flex option for anyone who is dealing with significant roster challenges.
