Warren is the favorite for passing down work in the Steelers backfield and is the source's favorite fantasy pick in that offense. Warren is a great pass catcher and the Steelers throw to running backs at a top-three rate in the NFL, providing significant receiving volume to offset limited early down work. The source favors Warren especially in full PPR formats.PositiveValueNo date
JJ Zachariason identifies Jaylen Warren as a value pick at live ADP 61 versus industry ADP 65, ranking him higher than expected because he's at the end of the startable running back tier; in a 14-team league, this tier becomes more valuable as running back scarcity increases. However, Zachariason would never draft Warren in full PPR leagues but considers him acceptable in half-PPR formats. He groups Warren in the same general range as Andre Stevenson and Tony Pollard, but notes a significant drop-off in certainty after Pollard among backs like Manungai, Harvey, Rico Dael, Gainwell, and Brooks. Zachariason explicitly warns against allowing Warren to be the top running back available at round three, indicating he should not be a primary target and represents a tier drop from elite early-round running backs.NegativeUsageNo date
