Storylines

Jaylen Warren grades out as PIT's best

Jaylen Warren (RB) sits at 74 out of 100 for 2025 — a percentile against every other player at that position, built from charted performance rather than raw totals.

Where They Stand

They come in 5th at 63.1 — playoff-calibre by the published scale. Strength and weakness sit far apart here: pass rush 89, secondary 39. The last 5 games have gone 4-1, with a +4.0 average margin. Their division sits 5th of eight at 57.3. Their last three: W 20-13 vs Atlanta Falcons, W 26-24 vs Baltimore Ravens, L 6-13 at Cleveland Browns. Mike McCarthy (175-112 for his career) has this club outperforming its graded talent by 6.5 points a game — the coaching is adding something the roster grade alone does not explain.

82% of simulations end with them in the bracket, which is a lead rather than a cushion. The median season is 10.7-6.3, with the division won 57% of the time.

Written from this club's own stored numbers — its Power Rating and the parts that make it up, its last five games, its division, its remaining schedule and its depth chart. Which facts appear depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. Deterministic, not written by a language model: the site builds where no local model exists and cloud inference is ruled out.
