Warren's receiving and blocking skills position him as Steelers' primary back.
Jaylen WarrenRBPIT
Warren is favored over Rico Dowdle in the Steelers backfield because Aaron Rodgers—now 42 and immobile—will want a running back who can block and serve as a safety valve receiver. Warren has superior credentials: 2.6 receptions per game and 1.41 yards per route run versus Dowdle's 1.4 receptions per game and 1.05 yards per route run; a PFF pass-blocking grade of 72.0 versus Dowdle's 24.6. With Steelers RBs accounting for 25.4% of team targets last season (second-highest in the league), Warren's receiving ability and blocking make him the likely primary back at RB30 (80th overall).
