Steelers RB Najee Harris thankful for Jaylen Warren The Steelers are slowly finding a way to improve the run game with a tandem running back approach.

Logs season-high yards in win Warren rushed nine times for 37 yards while securing all three of his targets for 40 yards during the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Impact The Steelers indicated this week that Warren could see increased playing time following the team's Week 9 bye, and he played 43 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps in the win. Although Najee Harris served as the clear lead back with 20 carries for 99 yards, Warren's 77 yards from scrimmage marked his highest total of the season. While the undrafted rookie should continue to operate as the Steelers' clear secondary option in the backfield, it's possible that he remains slightly more involved so the team can get a change of pace.

Kaboly: Najee Harris sharing snaps with Jaylen Warren might be the fix the Steelers need Harris played less than 60 percent of the snaps — ceding time to the rookie Warren — but had his best game of the season. Coincidence?

Practice reps haven't increased Warren indicated Thursday that he hasn't had any increase in practice reps or responsibilities as Sunday's game against the Saints approaches, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports...
Impact Per Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site, there's been speculation that Warren -- who has averaged 5.3 yards on his 29 rushing attempts to date -- could see more backfield touches moving forward, but offensive coordinator Matt Canada suggested Thursday that he believes lead back Najee Harris, who has averaged 3.3 yards per carry on 108 rushes thus far, now is healthy and "will start trending in the right direction, as well." In any case, Warren figures to continue to contribute in third-down situations, a context that could result in the undrafted rookie seeing enough touches in the weeks ahead to make his mark in deeper leagues.

Jaylen Warren Ready for Bigger Role in Steelers Backfield The Pittsburgh Steelers could make a distribution change at running back, and Jaylen Warren is ready.

Could see added opportunities Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin suggested Tuesday that Warren might get a look in a feature-back role at some point in 2022, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports....
Impact Meanwhile, top back Najee Harris, who suffered a foot injury during training camp, has managed to play in all eight of the Steelers' games thus far while averaging 3.3 yards on 108 carries. For his part, Warren has averaged 5.3 yards on his 29 rushing opportunities to date, and while Tomlin's comments don't necessarily foreshadow the undrafted rookie supplanting Harris as Pittsburgh's lead back following the team's bye week, it wouldn't be a surprise if Warren earned more touches in the coming weeks. Warren most recently turned in a six-carry, 50-yard effort to go along with three catches for 25 yards in the Steelers' 35-13 loss to the Eagles in Week 8.

Leading rusher in loss Warren rushed six times for 50 yards while securing all three of his targets for 25 yards during the Steelers' 35-13 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact Warren was on the field for just 29 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, but he logged nine touches and racked up a career-high 75 yards from scrimmage in the blowout loss. Despite his encouraging performance, Warren remains firmly behind Najee Harris on the depth chart and is unlikely to be as involved in closer games down the stretch.

Limited role in primetime Warren rushed twice for seven yards while securing both of his targets for 17 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to Miami on Sunday.
Impact Warren was on the field for just 23 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest mark since Week 3. He was unable to do much with his limited touches and was held under 25 yards from scrimmage for a second consecutive week. As long as Najee Harris remains healthy, Warren is unlikely to be a very fantasy-relevant option.
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Minimal work against Buccaneers Warren had two carries for two yards during Sunday's 20-18 victory over Tampa Bay.
Impact Warren racked up a career-high 63 yards from scrimmage during last week's blowout loss to the Bills, but he was much less involved during Sunday's Week 6 matchup. He played just 31 percent of the team's offensive snaps and was unable to accomplish much with his limited touches. The 23-year-old should continue to see limited work as long as Najee Harris is healthy.

Jaylen Warren's Reps Will Continue Increasing After playing the best game of his young career so far, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is in line for more touches.

Efficient against Buffalo Warren rushed five times for 24 yards while securing four of five targets for 39 yards during the Steelers' 38-3 loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
Impact Warren was on the field for a season-high 51 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, and he outpaced starter Najee Harris by one snap on offense. However, it's worth noting that most of Warren's production came in the fourth quarter, when the game was well out of reach. The undrafted rookie's efficiency was encouraging, but he should continue to see a lesser role when the Steelers are in closer games.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • USATODAY.COM
Logs four touches in loss Warren rushed three times for 18 yards while securing his lone target for four yards during the Steelers' 24-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Impact Warren was on the field for just 25 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Monday, marking his second-lowest percentage of the season. However, he averaged a team-high 6.0 yards per carry, highlighted by a 14-yard run early in the second quarter. Warren's workload should remain limited as long as Najee Harris is healthy, but the Oklahoma State product has been efficient with his occasional opportunities this year.

As the Steelers gain traction on the ground, Jaylen Warren embraces his role The Steelers have dialed back Najee Harris' snaps to start the season, giving Warren a chance to seize a solid backup role.
SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Efficient with limited touches Warren rushed four times for 30 yards while securing his lone target for three yards during the Steelers' 29-17 loss to the Browns on Thursday.
Impact Warren was on the field for just 12 offensive snaps during Thursday's matchup, but he recorded touches on nearly half of his snaps. The 23-year-old averaged 7.5 yards per carry in the loss but had a somewhat limited fantasy impact due to his lack of touches behind starter Najee Harris. Over his first three professional games, Warren has rushed 11 times for 52 yards while securing two of three targets for three yards.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Minimal results against New England Warren rushed four times for 15 yards while securing his lone target for no yards during the Steelers' 17-14 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Impact Warren saw increased playing time late in last week's regular-season opener against the Bengals because Najee Harris left with a foot injury, but Harris started Sunday's Week 2 matchup after practicing fully Thursday and Friday. As a result, Warren was on the field for just 29 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps, and he was unable to generate much production with his limited touches. As long as Harris remains healthy, it seems unlikely that the Steelers offense can sustain two fantasy-relevant running backs, especially given how inefficient the team has been early in the season.
