Jaylen Warren has been the Steelers entire offense for multiple weeks now. With over 100 yards from scrimmage in four of the last five games, he continues to chew up yards on the ground and through the air. Unfortunately, he only has one receiving and one rushing TD over that span. Now with Rico Dowdle back in the mix, rushing touchdowns may be harder to come by. Thankfully, his usage and efficiency keep him as an RB2 for fantasy. This week they face the Browns, who allowed Tony Pollard to go for 129 yards and three scores on 25 carries. This was uncharacteristic as the Browns have allowed the 4th fewest rushing touchdowns, 3rd fewest receiving yards, and 10th fewest fantasy points to the RB position. I expect the Browns to get back to their defensive ways in a classic AFC North duel this week.

Jaylen Warren goes off against Saints

Jaylen Warren ran 18 times for 101 yards and caught three of four targets for 36 yards in the Steelers' 16-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Warren was the clear lead back for the Steelers on Sunday, showing markedly better efficiency than fellow RB Rico Dowdle. A two-back system will still likely be employed to keep Warren fresh, but Warren is looking like a solid weekly RB1 candidate.
