Outlook Jaylen Warren

Jaylen Warren primed for lead backfield duties against Atlanta

Warren enters the week atop the Steelers' depth chart ahead of Rico Dowdle, positioning him to lead the backfield rotation. While Pittsburgh is expected to split touches to keep runners fresh, Warren's proven efficiency and pass-catching ability secure his role as the primary ballcarrier in this offense.

Fantasy managers have shown rising trust as his start rate has climbed to 61% across leagues. Our weekly projection expects around 12 carries for 54 rushing yards along with multiple receptions, totaling approximately 13.8 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as a solid RB2 or strong flex option.

Outlook Makai Lemon

Makai Lemon Opens Season as High-Upside Slot Stash

Makai Lemon is fully healthy entering Week 1 after moving past a training camp hamstring tweak and playing in the preseason finale. While listed as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver alongside DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, missed practice time in August may limit his early snap volume.

Rostered in 87% of leagues but started in just 5%, fantasy managers are prudently taking a wait-and-see stance. Our weekly projection expects a modest showing of roughly 3 targets, 2 receptions, and 29 yards (6.1 fantasy points), making him a clear bench stash for now.
