STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Warren dominates late-game snaps; frustrating timeshare despite clear talent edge.

Despite early-game timeshare with Rico Dowdle (19 snaps to 14 through three quarters), Warren dominated when the game got serious: 31 of 37 snaps in the fourth quarter and overtime. Source notes Warren is "way, way better than Rico Dowdle" and predicts this will be "one of the most frustrating backfields to watch for the entire rest of the season" due to coaching staff forcing an unnecessary timeshare despite Warren's clear superiority.
