2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's not easy for an off-the-bench running back to provide mainstream fantasy football utility, but Warren showed the ability last season to provide regular flex production or better even while starter Najee Harris took most of Pittsburgh's rushing workload. Warren was especially strong in PPR scoring, catching 61 of 74 targets to boost an otherwise modest rushing total of 784 yards and four touchdowns (on 149 carries). One thing to keep in mind is that while Harris remains an obstacle for Warren's rushing production, Warren may be able to handle a workhorse role if he's ever called to serve in one. At 5-8, 215, Warren is able to get the better of most collisions, and he even took 281 touches during his final collegiate season at Oklahoma State. The Steelers figure to remain run-heavy in 2024 after hiring offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and using their first two draft picks on linemen, so they'll need to feature Warren extensively even when Harris is healthy and effective.

Cleared to play Week 1
Warren (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Warren was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, suggesting that he has fully recovered from the hamstring injury he picked up in mid-August. Despite an offseason overhaul that included a new quarterback in Russell Wilson (questionable, calf) and a new offensive coordinator in Arthur Smith, Pittsburgh is expected to deploy its backfield duo of Najee Harris and Warren in similar proportions to last season. Warren had 149 carries and 74 targets in the 2023 regular season to Harris' 255 carries and 38 targets.

Jared Goff averages more than two TDs per game at Ford Field, and he should be good for multiple scores this Sunday against a young Rams defense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Despite an unremarkable collegiate career and average athletic testing, Warren made a quick impression on the Steelers after they signed him as an undrafted free agent last spring. Warren not only earned a roster spot, but he swiftly jumped ahead of a pair of fourth-round picks from previous drafts (Anthony McFarland and Benny Snell) on the Pittsburgh depth chart, becoming the backup to Najee Harris and playing off the bench in mostly passing situations. He's stocky -- 5-8, 215 -- and his low center of gravity pairs well with reliable hands to pose a nuisance to defenses on checkdown throws. Warren is a valuable complementary piece for Pittsburgh, but he's unlikely to scale up as a starter because he's average as a runner. Warren struggled to average 5.0 YPC in college, and his 4.9 YPC from 2022 was largely a product of the Steelers limiting his carries to low-stakes situations or snaps where the defense was sitting on the pass. He's a threat to poach a large share of the RB targets, but taking more than a handful of carries per week from a healthy Harris is less likely.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Week 1 status in jeopardy
Warren is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring strain he suffered in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, and he may not be ready to suit up in Week 1, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year running back is expected to see a big workload in the Steelers backfield this season alongside Najee Harris, but Warren looks like he might get a late start to his campaign due to the injury. Should Warren be sidelined in Week 1 or beyond, Cordarrelle Patterson would likely step into the No. 2 spot on the depth chart given his familiarity with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme from their time together in Atlanta.
