News: 7 days agoWarren rushed 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of five targets for 19 yards in the Steelers' 24-19 loss to the Browns on Thursday night. He also returned one kickoff for 26 yards.

Spin: Warren logged five fewer carries than Najee Harris but was more efficient with his opportunities, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt to his teammate's 2.6. Warren also recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season on a three-yard run just before the midway point of the fourth quarter, and he's now recorded over 40 rushing yards in four straight games while tallying multiple receptions in five consecutive contests as well. Warren next takes aim at the Bengals' inconsistent defense in a Week 13 road matchup on Sunday, Dec. 1.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Now entering his third pro season, Warren emerged as a playmaking talent with the Steelers in 2023, posting career highs across the board in rushing and receving. Warren posted a run of 10 or more yards on 15.5% of his carries, while producing double-digit fantasy points in 10 of 15 games played. He's an explosive mover, with perimeter juice and the open-field vision to produce as a screen target (18 receptions, 114 yards on screens last season). While Warren will share backfield touches with Najee Harris, he brings more fantasy upside as a dual-threat back under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Target Warren as a high-end flex, with RB2 upside.
