From the article

The Steelers RB rotation from last year produced the fourth-most usage, but how Jaylen Warren and Kenny Gainwell got home will not be how Warren and Dowdle will get home this year. This is more of a traditional lightning/thunder style with Dowdle having the 'close out' and potential goal-line roles. Warren is the incumbent starter and better receiver, while being able to run the ball more effectively than other 'lightning' backs.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Warren remains starter but faces new lightning/thunder split with Dowdle.

Warren is the incumbent starter and better receiver, able to run the ball more effectively than other lightning-back archetypes; the Steelers are shifting from last year's rotation style (which produced fourth-most usage) to a more traditional lightning/thunder approach with Rico Dowdle handling close-out and potential goal-line roles, with on-field play determining touch shares as the season progresses.
