Sliding Draft Price Creates Tremendous Flex Value as Pittsburgh's Lead Back
Jaylen Warren enters the season atop the Steelers' depth chart, having secured the starting role over backfield mate Rico Dowdle. While the pair alternated first-team reps during training camp under new head coach Mike McCarthy, Warren brings established continuity after logging a career-best 229 carries last season.
Our models project another steady campaign, forecasting 188 carries for 825 rushing yards and five touchdowns, alongside 35 receptions for 265 yards. His tackle-breaking ability and proven passing-game involvement keep his fantasy floor extraordinarily safe in full-PPR formats.
Draft market sentiment has cooled substantially, with his ADP dropping from the mid-60s down to pick 101. That slide creates an undeniable value steal relative to our 192-point projection, especially with fantasy managers already showing renewed confidence as his start rate reaches 58%.

Plummeting Draft Cost Unlocks Tremendous Value as Titans Lead Back
Tennessee's backfield continues to be paced by veteran Tony Pollard, who sits atop the depth chart ahead of Tyjae Spears. After consecutive seasons handling over 250 carries, Pollard retains a reliable grasp on early-down duties, though a modest 39% start rate reflects fantasy managers treating him more as a flex than an unquestioned starter.
Our projections forecast a productive campaign with 220 carries, 915 rushing yards, and six touchdowns. Even with an anticipated dip to 15 receptions, Pollard's track record of four straight 1,000-total-yard seasons provides a bankable floor and dependable touch volume inside an evolving Titans offense.
Draft sentiment has cooled noticeably, as Pollard's ADP tumbled from the late-70s in mid-August down to pick 115. A brief practice absence with a foot issue contributed to the slide, but our expectations make him a clear draft-day bargain rather than a falling knife.
