Warren's elite target rate and efficiency establish him as Pittsburgh's featured pass-catcher.

Warren has been fifth in RB target rate in Dowdle's absence and his 1.99 yards per route run sits just behind Jahmyr Gibbs (2.14), establishing him as an elite pass-catching option. Even in Week 1 when both RBs were active, Warren out-targeted Dowdle 6 to 4 on fewer routes, demonstrating his priority in the passing game. The source believes that even if Dowdle returns, the types of touches Warren should receive will keep him as the featured option.
