BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4
ANALYSIS: While Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren provides excellent receiving upside and tantalizing ability to produce explosive plays when healthy, he's still nursing a hamstring injury, and was clearly limited in Week 1, recording just two carries and two receptions.
Fellow Steelers RB Najee Harris figures to handle most of the load in Week 2. Harris is healthy, and given the high rate of recurrence of hamstring injuries, there's little reason to rush Warren back to play. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin referred to the situation as a slippery slope, as most hamstring injuries are.
Warren is a capable playmaker when healthy with nice PPR upside. He's been the primary pass-catching back for the Steelers while sharing the backfield with Harris. Warren's best trait is probably his tackle avoidance. He employs a variety of strategies to break tackles, like the stiff arm here.

When Warren is healthy, he's a nice FLEX option in 12-team leagues. But he'll need more time to get back to 100% and should stay on the bench outside of deeper leagues for now.
