Warren went overlooked in the offseason as an incumbent in an offense set up for players with his skill set. New HC Mike McCarthy typically likes passing more than running, and this version of Aaron Rodgers loves throwing to his RBs so he doesn't have to get hit or throw deep. Warren should have FLEX value in a similar role to last year when he finished as the RB20 per game on RB21 usage. If he can keep some of the goal line role while absorbing more receptions, then he's going to beat ADP with ease.

Warren overlooked; should beat ADP with more receptions in Rodgers-heavy passing offense.

Warren went overlooked in the offseason as an incumbent in an offense set up for players with his skill set. New HC Mike McCarthy typically likes passing more than running, and this version of Aaron Rodgers loves throwing to his RBs so he doesn't have to get hit or throw deep. Last year, the Steelers were fourth in RB usage because Kenny Gainwell was the RB4 in receptions per game (4.3), while Warren caught 2.4 per game (RB19). Warren should have FLEX value in a similar role to last year when he finished as the RB20 per game on RB21 usage. If he can keep some of the goal line role while absorbing more receptions, then he's going to beat ADP with ease.
