Jaylen Warren a Steady RB2 Option in Promising Week 1 Matchup

Saturday, September 12, 6:58 PM

Across 16 games in 2025, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren recorded 1,291 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 251 touches across 16 games. The 27-year-old profiles as a weapon as both a rusher and a receiver, as he's recorded at least 45 targets and 300 receiving yards in three consecutive seasons. In 2026, Warren will likely split touches with fellow Steelers running back Rico Dowdle. However, Warren is listed as the starting running back on Pittsburgh's depth chart ahead of the team's Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta surrendered only 12 rushing touchdowns as a team in 2025, but the Falcons ranked 24th in the NFL in total rushing yards allowed (2,146). Atlanta will also be starting third-string quarterback Cooper Rush on Sunday, which could lead to Pittsburgh operating with a run-heavy game script for most of the afternoon. Warren should see plenty of touches in Week 1 and profiles as a low-end RB2 option for fantasy managers against Atlanta.

Wan'Dale Robinson News

Wan'Dale Robinson a High-Floor PPR Flex Play in Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 5:59 AM

After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the New York Giants, wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is entering his first season with the Tennessee Titans in 2026. The 25-year-old was paid by Tennessee after putting together a career year with the Giants in 2025, recording 92 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns on 140 targets across 16 games. In Week 1, the Titans will host the New York Jets. New York struggled to defend the pass in 2025, finishing as a bottom-10 unit in terms of yards per pass attempt allowed (7.5). Robinson may not see many chances down the field on Sunday, as the Titans' passing game has questions entering quarterback Cam Ward's second NFL season. Still, Robinson should see steady target volume as a safety blanket for Ward out of the slot. Fantasy managers should not expect high-end production from Robinson, but he profiles as a potential deep-league PPR flex option in Week 1.
