Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Jaylen Warren

Jaylen Warren (PIT): 4% rostered

  • Next opponents: NE, @CLE, NYJ
  • True value: $4
  • Desperate need: $20
  • Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Early reports fear that Najee Harris is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that will sideline him for numerous weeks. It could also hamper the lead back’s performance upon his return and has a very high aggravation rate. Warren absolutely earned the RB2 spot in Steelers camp this summer and will be called upon to fill in. There weren’t many more glaring handcuff RBs to roster this season. If for some reason you rostered Harris without Warren, you might need to spend a decent amount of FAAB to save face at the position going forward.
