STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Warren's pass-catching and blocking grades make him Pittsburgh's primary RB.

Warren is positioned as the safer Steelers RB over Rico Dowdle despite similar ADP (RB30, 80th overall vs RB32, 86th overall). Aaron Rodgers' immobility and preference for a pass-catching, blocking-capable RB favors Warren. Steelers RBs accounted for 25.4% of team targets last season (second-highest in league behind 49ers). Warren has averaged 2.6 receptions per game and 1.41 yards per route run over his career with a 72.0 PFF pass-blocking grade (very good). The source's money is on Warren as Pittsburgh's primary RB in 2026, making him the preferred target over Dowdle.
