Warren's 101 rushing yards and 8-game 70+ scrimmage streak show production, but TD regression looms.

Warren led Pittsburgh's backfield duo in snaps (39 to 28 vs. Rico Dowdle), touches (21 to 15), and total yards (137 to 86). He carried 18 times for 101 yards (5.6 YPC) and caught 3 of 4 targets for 36 yards (16.1% adjusted, from 9.6%). Warren played 40 of 64 snaps (62%, down from 75% in Week 6) and Dowdle 28 (44%, up from 27%), yielding about 0.55 opportunities per snap each. Warren converted 5 of 6 third-and-short carries and Next Gen Stats credited him with 71 of his 101 rushing yards after contact (second-most in the NFL this season) with 5 missed tackles forced. He has 8 straight games of 70-plus scrimmage yards (the longest active RB streak). However, the source notes Warren is 'a screaming TD regression candidate' as his 561 rushing yards rank 7th in the NFL but he has only 1 rushing TD. Over the last 2 games with Dowdle, Warren ranks RB26 in expected PPG. The backfield has turned into a 60-40 split, but Warren continues to produce.
