Sixth-round target with rising workload but poor red zone conversion (29%)
Jaylen WarrenRBPIT
Jalen Warren is the first Pittsburgh player off the board in fantasy in the sixth round and will receive backfield targets in the Steelers' new pass-heavy offense under Brian Angelico. Workload has increased year over year, averaging 16 opportunities per game last year. However, red zone conversion is a concern: he converted only 4 of 14 red zone carries (29%), whereas Rico Dowdle converted 6 of 8 (75%) in Carolina. The source favors Warren over Dowdle due to Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy's prior connection and Rodgers' preference for quick-step drop timing and rhythm with a reliable veteran.
