Who Should I Start? Austin Ekeler or Jaylen Warren

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 4 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Ekeler has now missed three consecutive games heading into Los Angeles' bye week. Joshua Kelley will operate as the Chargers' lead back once again, though his stats over the duration of Ekeler's absence have been uninspiring. Here's merely a fantasy RB3/FLEX at this point.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren received 14 opportunities out of the backfield in the team's 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans. The second-year pro turned eight carries and six catches into 55 total yards. Warren and Najee Harris nearly split the touches 50/50. The starter ran the ball 14 times and caught one pass on two targets. Both backs saw 49% of the snaps in the blowout loss. Warren and the Steelers face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. An already struggling offense could have a new quarterback in Mitch Trubisky, who is likely to start in place of Kenny Pickett (knee).
