Steelers' Jaylen Warren could see role increase in Week 3
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren could see an increased rushing load going forward, starting in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
What It Means:
Warren has been far more efficient than teammate Najee Harris so far this season, so a change has seemed to be just around the corner for the last two weeks. The Insiders on NFL Network reported that a change could be made as early as this week against the Raiders, as head coach Mike Tomlin insinuated that Warren would get more opportunities in the running game in addition to his already-solid passing game role. This could be a much-needed change for a Steelers offense that has been among the worst in the league to open the young season.
Our models project Warren to score 10.5 fantasy points against the Raiders tonight, with 46.1 rushing yards, 19.4 receiving yards, and 0.4 scores. FanDuel has set his salary at $5,900.
