Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Jaylen Warren

Thursday, September 7, 3:10 PM

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson could be an interesting play in Week 1. Washington has an advantageous matchup ahead against the lackluster Arizona Cardinals, and it could lead to a more run-centric game plan. Gibson's usage has been a bit of a disappointment in the past, but he could see an evolved workload within Eric Bieniemy's offense. With a positive game script surely on the horizon, Gibson is in play as a solid flex option heading into Week 1.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled six carries for 20 yards and secured four of his six targets for 66 yards in a Week 2 win against the Cleveland Browns. Najee Harris continued to be Pittsburgh's primary ball carrier on Monday night but Warren has clearly carved out a role for himself as a receiver. He looked particularly explosive when turning a short pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett into a 30-yard gain in the second quarter. With the Steelers' offense struggling to open the 2023 campaign, it's difficult to project Warren for a lot of touchdown upside, but the 24-year-old does offer some appeal as a flex option in PPR leagues. Warren should stay involved in a Week 3 bout with the Las Vegas Raiders.
