WorkNFL Nation Fantasy Fallout: What to expect from Justin Fields, Gardner Minshew As long as defenses keep loading the box against the Steelers, Warren is going to be most effective as a pass-catching back -- especially on third down.

Warren has run 15 routes with five catches, 66 yards and 35 receiving yards over expectation on third down. Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Warren is giving himself more opportunities because of how well he\'s playing.
