The Pittsburgh Steelers' running back tandem of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle failed to make CBS Sports' Top 10 rankings, receiving only an honorable mention. New head coach Mike McCarthy is focused on replacing Kenneth Gainwell, who was the team's MVP last season. Dowdle and Warren combined for 2,034 rushing yards in 2025, but the ranking favored teams with a premier starter. Ahead of the 2026 season, the Steelers have bolstered their offensive line, aiming for both players to exceed 1,000 rushing yards this year.
