2026 Draft note
In 2024 Warren finished RB40 in 14 games, largely buried behind Najee Harris in a rotation that didn't suit him. In 2025, with a clearer path, he jumped to RB18 and put together one of the better under-the-radar efficiency profiles at the position–94th-percentile elusive rating (4th in the NFL), 91st-percentile broken-tackle rate, and 82nd-percentile YAC/Att. The receiving game is equally strong: his route grade (91st percentile) and YPRR (90th percentile) rank among the best at the position. He's a legitimate three-down back when given the opportunity, but that’s in question yet again. Rico Dowdle's arrival and reunion with Mike McCarthy, who coached him in Dallas in 2024, introduces a familiarity dynamic that could push Warren back into a secondary role. Pittsburgh's 114 vacated carries create room for both backs, but how McCarthy distributes them will determine Warren's value. If Dowdle takes the early-down work and Warren holds the passing-down role, the floor is still serviceable in PPR formats. If Warren sees lead back touches, his advanced stats point to a potential RB1 season.
