Since Week 12, Jaylen Warren has averaged 14 touches and 55.6 total yards with a 49.3% snap rate, a 33.9% route share, and a 7.8% target share. He has had nine red zone rushing attempts (Gainwell, seven), but he has been losing the passing game role to Gainwell. Among 58 qualifying backs, Warren ranks fifth in missed tackle rate and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. He's an RB2/3 again this week. Since Week 11, Detroit's run defense has been a middle-of-the-road unit ranking 17th in yards after contact per attempt, 16th in yards before contact per attempt, 15th in rushing success rate, and allowing the 14th-most rushing yards per game.
