Steelers surprise early in the slate: Warren opens, stepping into Harris's early-down role while Gainwell handles some third-down duties and Kaleb Johnson waits in the wings. Warren projects toward double-digit carries early, with passing-game work solidifying his fantasy floor; Johnson now faces an uphill battle to win early-down looks. Carolina rested its starters, birthing Brycen Tremayne’s chance to prove roster-worthiness, but his fantasy upside remains marginal without injuries. Olave’s slot use in New Orleans hints at an elevated target ceiling, while Chicago’s tight end duo rotates heavily, keeping Loveland and Kmet in a true 50/50, 12-personnel split. In Cleveland, Sampson and Ford rotated together, signaling a future duo rather than a clear lead back.
