Jaylen Warren is the focal point as 2025 fantasy prep centers on the Steelers after Najee Harris departs. Kaleb Johnson lands as an early-down answer, but Arthur Smith-era ambiguity and Rodgers’ measured pace could limit overall volume. Cordarrelle Patterson and Jonnu Smith join a pass game that aims to diversify targets, while Rodgers’ slower tempo keeps play totals in check. Warren’s health is restored, but his weekly upside remains capped with Johnson absorbing more work.

Draft strategy centerpoints Warren’s floor and the Johnson split, with Patterson and Smith offering veteran, high-floor upside in the passing game. Rodgers’ pace reduces big-volume weeks, making red-zone chances and breakouts more stochastic. In shallow leagues Warren may still offer FLEX value, while Johnson is a late-round dart with upside if he seizes early-down work.
