BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren’s proficiency has been consistent throughout his rookie season, as had the ongoing inefficiency of Najee Harris before Week 10. However, amid increasing conjecture surrounding Warren’s prospects of being entrusted with a larger role Harris constructed his most productive outing of the season when the Steelers hosted New Orleans.
Harris had only averaged 3.3 yards per attempt from Weeks 1-9 but delivered a season-best 5.0 per attempt average versus the Saints. He also established new season highs in rushing attempts (20) and rushing yardage (99), which should defuse speculation that Warren could leapfrog him on Pittsburgh’s depth chart.
This does not diminish the rationale for securing Warren on your rosters. He accrued 77 total on 12 touches in Week 10 and has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to perform proficiently with the touches that he is allotted.
Warren would also operate with an expanded workload if Harris would become unavailable for any reason during the Steelers' upcoming matchups, and is capable of delivering RB2 output if that scenario transpires.
Warren remains attainable in 27% of all leagues and securing him could still pay dividends before the conclusion of the season.
