Outlook Jaylen Warren
Efficient Dual-Threat Back Poised to Lead Steelers Backfield Under New Scheme
Jaylen Warren enters the 2026 season atop the Steelers' depth chart, ready to lead the backfield under new head coach Mike McCarthy. While he shares touches with Rico Dowdle, Warren's historical efficiency—averaging over 4.3 yards per carry in each of his four seasons—solidifies his lead role. His elite tackle-avoiding ability helps him maximize every touch.
Our projections are optimistic about his output, slotting him for 172 carries, 801 rushing yards, and five touchdowns. Also a high-end receiver, we project him to grab 42 receptions for 315 yards and a touchdown, securing a highly reliable PPR floor.
Warren's ADP has fluctuated, starting near 80 in May, spiking to the mid-30s, and now settling around 67. At this price, our models view him as a steal. With a 100% roster percentage and a rising 73% start rate, the market is rightfully gaining confidence in his weekly utility.

Outlook Omarion Hampton
Sophomore Star Primed for Heavy Workload Under Mike McDaniel
Omarion Hampton enters his second season securely atop the depth chart as the lead back for the Chargers. Following an abbreviated nine-game rookie campaign, he is drawing significant offseason hype, with recent OTA reports highlighting direct coaching from Mike McDaniel. Hampton sits comfortably ahead of Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal in the rotation, positioning him for a stable, high-volume role.
Our projections expect a massive leap, slating Hampton for 1,037 rushing yards, nine touchdowns on the ground, and 51 receptions. This dual-threat ability is highly coveted in fantasy. Fantasy managers are responding with immense confidence, as his active start rate has steadily climbed above 80% in our leagues.
His draft market momentum reflects this growing optimism. Hampton's ADP in 1.0 PPR formats has surged from approximately pick 20 in early May to a premium price of 14.00 in mid-June. Our models support this climb, viewing him as a secure early-round anchor who provides elite value at his current cost.
