Jaylen Warren Steelers No. 2 Back On Depth Chart
2 years agoPittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Jaylen Warren was listed ahead of Benny Snell Jr. as the No. 2 back on the team's newest depth chart. It is noteworthy because Snell was second ahead of Warren in the previous release. The 23-year-old has been making an impact all offseason, leaving many to wonder if he had cemented the backup role. Najee Harris led the league with 366 touches (carries plus receptions) last season and dealt with a Lisfranc injury during the preseason. The team may decide to reduce his workload or snap count to preserve his health and durability. This would create additional opportunities for Warren, adding minimal weekly value to his top-24 potential if Harris suffers an injury. He becomes a backup to draft and roster.
