News: 11 hours agoWarren carried the ball 11 times for 71 yards and caught five of six targets for 41 yards in Wednesday's 29-10 loss to Kansas City.

Spin: He topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time this season, but Najee Harris finished with two more totes and three more rushing yards. Warren has seen his workload increase the last two weeks, and while the Steelers lost both games, that can hardly be pinned on the third-year RB, who had a first-quarter TD run wiped out by a holding penalty Wednesday. Warren will look to wrap up the regular season in style in a Week 18 clash with the Bengals.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Now entering his third pro season, Warren emerged as a playmaking talent with the Steelers in 2023, posting career highs across the board in rushing and receving. Warren posted a run of 10 or more yards on 15.5% of his carries, while producing double-digit fantasy points in 10 of 15 games played. He's an explosive mover, with perimeter juice and the open-field vision to produce as a screen target (18 receptions, 114 yards on screens last season). While Warren will share backfield touches with Najee Harris, he brings more fantasy upside as a dual-threat back under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Target Warren as a high-end flex, with RB2 upside.
