Jaylen Warren listed as Steelers Starting Running Back

Tuesday, August 5, 10:13 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was listed as the top running back on the team's initial preseason depth chart. Veteran Kenneth Gainwell is listed behind only Warren, while rookie Kaleb Johnson is the third back on the depth chart. Johnson has been struggling with pass coverage, according to reports, which could limit his role early in the season and give Warren and Gainwell a chance to dominate the workload. Warren has always been excellent in pass coverage and could benefit from Aaron Rodgers' tendency to check down to running backs. Johnson could still earn short-yardage and goal-line work as the preseason continues, but for now, Warren looks to be the clear frontrunner for work in the Steelers' backfield.

Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet Set for RB Battle in Seattle

Wednesday, July 23, 2:56 PM

The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2025 season with a clear backfield competition. Kenneth Walker III has been outstanding across his first three years in the league, but recurring injuries have left the door open for third-year back Zach Charbonnet to push for more snaps. Charbonnet totaled eight touchdowns in 2024 despite starting just six of 17 games, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. With new quarterback Sam Darnold under center, this two-headed backfield could emerge as one of the most dynamic tandems in the NFL, and a tricky one for fantasy managers to navigate.
