Jaylen Warren
2025 Season Outlooks
Warren went from sharing the Steelers' backfield with Najee Harris to sharing with Kaleb Johnson. That may be a difference without a distinction. Warren has averaged 11.5 touches per game over the last two seasons and that is very close to what we expect this year. He should be better in PPR than he is in half and non-PPR, but even in that format we are expecting him to perform like a high-end flex that you should consider drafting around the end of Round 7. There is some upside that Johnson struggles early and Warren grabs a larger share than we are expecting, but there is similar downside if the split breaks the other way.
Warren is entering his fourth NFL season in position for a larger role following the offseason departure of Najee Harris. Warren has thus far been limited to a situational role (11.3 touches per game since the start of 2023), though it hasn't helped that Harris hasn't missed a single game since Warren entered the league. Warren is primarily a passing-game specialist (his 99 receptions ranks seventh among RBs over the past two seasons) but, while he hasn't cleared 149 carries or four TDs in a season, he has run well (4.8 YPC, 2.0 YAC). With rookie Kaleb Johnson likely to play a significant role as a rusher, Warren figures to settle in as a PPR flex.
