Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Jaylen Warren

Sunday, October 20, 6:39 PM

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for just four yards on three carries during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also converted his lone target into a nine-yard reception. This was easily Gibson's quietest game of the season, and while part of the blame can be placed on the game script, it's also worth noting that he was third in the pecking order on Sunday. He finished Week 7 with just 10 snaps, which was less than JaMycal Hasty's 20 and Rhamondre Stevenson's 30. It's unclear whether this trend is here to stay, but it should certainly have fantasy managers concerned heading into Week 8 against the New York Jets. Gibson can be benched or dropped in fantasy football going forward.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 12 carries for 44 yards and came down with two of three targets for 15 receiving yards in a Week 7 win over the New York Jets. Although he was once again outshined by Najee Harris, Warren was given his biggest workload of the season on Sunday night. He operated as the primary pass-catching option out of the backfield for quarterback Russell Wilson and was on the receiving end of an important third-down conversion in the third quarter that eventually led to a touchdown. Warren should continue to operate in a similar role moving forward and could eventually play his way into weekly flex consideration. He's worth stashing in most fantasy leagues and will look to contribute against the New York Giants in Week 8.
