Pittsburgh's Jaylen Warren announced as starting running back
The Pittsburgh Steelers have named Jaylen Warren as their starting running back.
What It Means:
According to Warren, before Week 10's game versus the Packers, head coach Mike Tomlin told him he has been named their starting running back in front of Najee Harris. After Warren saw 47% of Pittsburgh backfield touches as their starter, expect the 25-year old to operate in a similar role in Week 11 versus a Cleveland Browns' team ranked sixth in fantasy points allowed per game to running backs.
Warren's current projection includes 9.9 rushing attempts for 42.8 yards and 2.8 receptions for 20.2 yards.
