ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has taken a backseat to the team's starter, Najee Harris, this season. While Harris was seen as a declining player on his way out before the season started, he's been a resurgent success.
Najee Harris in Weeks 6-8:

Harris has exploded in his last three games, with over 100 rushing yards in each. He's averaged 7.6, 4.9 and 6.0 yards per carry in the three games and scored 20.2, 16.2, and 16.1 PPR fantasy points in those contests. Despite this, he's actually seen lower snaps than usual.
There doesn't seem to be much left over for Warren, but things could get better. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry in Week 8, so he appeared to be reasonably healthy, and he had his bye week in Week 9, allowing him even more time to heal up after missing two games due to injury.
He's a bench stash for now. The return of Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle), who appears to be on track to play in Week 10, could split the backfield work even more, though. There's not much reason to start Warren in fantasy lineups on Sunday.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
