A big part of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive identity is the run game. And RB Najee Harris has received the lion’s share of the carries this season with 251. RB Jaylen Warren has received a little less than half that number with 114.
But recently Warren has seen an uptick in usage. In the last two weeks, he has seen double-digit carries (only three such games in the previous 14). He has also caught a season-high five passes in each of those games. And head coach Mike Tomlin has praised Warren for his performances recently.
On the flip side, Harris’ carries have declined, including only nine rushes against the Baltimore Ravens.
