Jaylen Warren was the backup to Rico Dowdle in Week 1. Yes, if you look at the boxscore it doesn't look like that, as Warren finished with 15 touches and 73 total yards (Dowdle had ten touches) as the RB25 for the week, but he only played 35.9% of the snaps... Warren could be an RB2 in Week 2 if he sees a similar workload against the Pats.

Warren could be an RB2 in Week 2 if he maintains his workload against New England.

Warren was the backup to Rico Dowdle in Week 1, finishing with 15 touches and 73 total yards as RB25 despite playing only 35.9% of snaps with 30.2% route share and zero red zone rushing attempts. His fumble in the first quarter may have contributed to his reduced role, but when on the field he was explosive with 3.0 yards after contact per attempt. New England allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate, 11th-most yards after contact per attempt, and sixth-lowest stuff rate in Week 1, positioning Warren as a potential RB2 in Week 2 if he sees a similar workload.
