• Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Ties career high in rushing yards

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Warren rushed 17 times for 143 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for no gain in the Steelers' 27-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered. Warren tied his single-game career high in rushing yards with Sunday's performance, which was partly fueled by a season-long 51-yard run. Warren now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he snapped a brief two-game rushing TD drought Sunday with a one-yard run early in the third quarter that closed out the scoring for the afternoon. Warren is already up to 704 rushing yards on a career-best 5.9 yards per carry heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 15 following a Week 8 bye.

  Warren carried the ball 18 times for 101 yards and caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints. The 21 touches tied his season high, while Rico Dowdle got 15 as the Steelers went with a ground-heavy game plan. Warren has topped 100 scrimmage yards in four of the last five games, racking up 472 rushing yards and a TD along with a 17-233-1 line on 24 targets during that hot stretch. He'll remain one of the key pieces of the Pittsburgh offense heading into a Week 8 clash at home against a Cleveland defense that Warren recorded 126 combined yards against in Week 4.

• Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Workload shrinks in Dowdle's return

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Warren carried the ball 14 times for 50 yards and caught two of four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers. While Warren still led the Steelers' backfield, his touch volume and production took a dip as Rico Dowdle returned from a three-game absence due to a toe injury, with Dowdle turning 10 touches into 49 scrimmage yards. As long as coach Mike McCarthy insists on using a timeshare between the two, Warren will be hard-pressed to repeat the outstanding numbers he compiled while Dowdle was on the shelf. Warren will try to make a bigger impact in Week 7 against the Saints in Paris.

• Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Leader of Pittsburgh's backfield

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that he views Warren as "our featured player right now," Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. During the offseason, McCarthy said that he viewed the Steelers' backfield as a 50-50 split between Warren and Rico Dowdle (toe). However, Warren has solidified his RB1 role over the Steelers' last three games with Dowdle on the sidelines, with the former accumulating 490 yards and two touchdowns on 61 touches (49 carries, 12 catches on 16 targets) in that span. It appears Warren is the clear lead back for the Steelers even Dowdle returns, which could happen as soon as this Sunday against the Buccaneers.

• Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Two long TDs in win over Indy

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Warren carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and caught all six of his targets for 87 yards and another TD in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts. The fifth-year back set the tone for the afternoon when he took a checkdown from Aaron Rodgers and turned it into an 80-yard score to begin the Steelers' second possession. Warren then added a 50-yard TD run right after halftime, becoming the first player in Pittsburgh franchise history with rushing and receiving touchdowns of 50-plus yards in the same game. He also become just the sixth player in league history, and the first since Herschel Walker in 1986, with an 80-yard TD catch and a 50-yard TD run in the same game -- a list that includes Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Gale Sayers as well. Warren's 188 scrimmage yards were a career best, and he continues to make the case that he deserves a bell-cow workload, turning 61 touches over the last three games into 490 combined yards, along with Sunday's two touchdowns. Even if Rico Dowdle (toe) returns to the lineup in Week 6 against the Buccaneers, Warren should be locked into the lead role in the backfield.
