Role · Pittsburgh Steelers Jaylen WarrenRB
+24scrimmage yards a game

Over his last 4 games his workload has been worth 97 scrimmage yards a game, against 73 in his 16 games before.

Role Whether his workload is growing or shrinking, counted in the scrimmage yards it usually produces. His workload is his carries and targets, how far downfield the targets were and his touches inside the 20. Over his last 4 games it has been worth 97 a game, up from 73 in the 16 games before. That's more than his usual week-to-week ups and downs. In past seasons, about half of a change in role has shown up in the next game. How we count
