From the episode

I think Warren is still the guy. And specifically, I think the reason I think he's going to be the guy is what we saw in overtime, right? Was at the end, they just, they, they used them as a closer pretty much was he had the, he took the ball. He bled the clock, led the Steelers down the field.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Warren still lead back; Dadle will split but won't displace him.

Jalen Hertz believes Jalen Warren remains the lead back for Pittsburgh even with Jaylen Dadle's return, citing Warren's usage as a closer in overtime and Rogers' preference for dumping off to him on short routes. Hertz expects Dadle to eat into Warren's workload and potentially vulture goal-line touches, but maintains Warren is still the primary guy. Warren's role was always going to be a split once Dadle returned, not the 90% snap share he had been receiving.
