Pittsburgh Steelers’ running backs Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson have had a quiet start in Week 1 against the New York Jets.
Expected to lead the team’s backfield, Warren recently signed a two-year extension, solidifying his role. With rookie Johnson in the mix, the Steelers were looking for a dynamic duo. However, both players have been noticeably absent in the game so far.
Warren, the projected featured back, has only one carry for zero yards and hasn’t been involved in the passing game. Johnson, on the other hand, is yet to receive any touches on the field. In contrast, Kenneth Gainwell has taken the lead with four carries for 12 yards, outshining Warren and Johnson.
As the Steelers rely on their ground game, Warren and Johnson’s lack of involvement is concerning. Fantasy football owners who pinned their hopes on these two backs are eagerly awaiting a change in their fortunes as the game progresses.
