Jaylen Warren (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2022 season, the Steelers backfield belonged to Najee Harris. But after one week, things have changed.

Harris suffered a foot injury against the Bengals on Sunday, leaving the game and not returning. It sounds like Harris could be back this weekend, which is way ahead of when people would have expected him to return on Sunday. Still, if Harris misses even one game, there's a name on the waiver wire you might want to look at: Jaylen Warren.

The rookie out of Oklahoma State didn't really do much in Sunday's game, as he had three carries for seven yards and failed to bring in his only target.

But what matters for fantasy purposes is that Warren saw every snap at running back after Harris left the game.

Letting one player be the primary running back has been a hallmark of Mike Tomlin's time in Pittsburgh. Remember when LeVeon Bell would be injured or suspended and the team would give DeAngelo Williams a full workload until he returned?

Warren is this year's DeAngelo Williams. Until Harris comes back, expect Warren to see a sizable workload. He's unlikely to impress as much as Harris, but he's an RB2 play until Harris is back.
