Outlook Jaylen Warren
Lead Back Role and PPR Versatility Cement Steady Mid-Round RB2 Value
Jaylen Warren enters 2026 atop Pittsburgh's depth chart as the primary running back under head coach Mike McCarthy. Coming off a 2025 campaign where he handled a career-high 229 carries and caught 40 passes, Warren has established himself as a durable, multi-faceted weapon capable of spearheading the Steelers' ground game.
Our season projections anticipate another productive year, slotting Warren for 188 carries, 835 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, and 37 receptions for 275 yards (192.0 fantasy points). While Rico Dowdle will factor into the rotation, Warren's established efficiency and pass-catching reliability provide a very safe floor for fantasy managers.
In fantasy draft markets, Warren's PPR ADP has stayed stubbornly stable around pick 67 over the past month. At this mid-round valuation, our projections see him as a dependable value asset rather than a risky reach, offering reliable RB2 and high-end flex production with built-in weekly volume.

Outlook Carnell Tate
Top-Five Draft Capital Clears Path for Immediate Rookie Target Share
Selected fourth overall by Tennessee, Carnell Tate steps directly into a starting outside wide receiver role alongside Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson. Building immediate chemistry with rookie quarterback Cam Ward, Tate returned to practice following a brief absence and brings refined route running and contested-catch ability to a revamped Titans offense.
Our models project Tate for a sizable rookie workload, forecasting 70 receptions on 109 targets for 900 yards and four touchdowns (182 PPR fantasy points). While his preseason debut was quiet, coaching staff praise and high practice involvement point toward a steady target floor as one of the primary weapons in Tennessee's passing game.
In drafts, his ADP has remained steady in the mid-60s as his roster rate climbed over 80%. Going off the board in the sixth round, our projections view Tate as an appealing mid-round value offering reliable WR3 production with upside for more.
