2026 Outlook

Warren finished 2025 as one of the Steelers' most consistent skill players despite the offense's struggles. An undrafted free agent who excels as a pass-catcher and blocker, Warren ranked 15th in EPA/rush, 19th in success rate, and 8th in missed tackles forced among 49 qualifying RBs. His three-down versatility makes him incredibly useful in McCarthy's system. With Aaron Rodgers returning and new coordinator Brian Angelichio implementing a more explosive passing scheme, Warren should see increased usage in the passing game, boosting his PPR value. Ranked #9 on the Steelers' depth chart, he remains a reliable back despite limited draft capital investment (per Bell: Ranking Steelers Top 10 Players Entering 2026).
