Who Should I Start? Damien Harris or Jaylen Warren

Monday, September 18, 1:45 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris ran seven times for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 26-year-old most notably plowed into the end zone with the Bills sitting on the ball in the fourth quarter amidst the blowout victory. Harris also continues to see his fair share of high-value touches, keeping him on the fantasy map in games Buffalo is projecting for positive game script. That particular setup was ripe for the picking in this one, and the power back hit paydirt to save an otherwise middling display for "zero-RB" fantasy managers who took the leap of faith in starting him. With Harris well behind James Cook for base work and also sharing red zone totes with incumbent veteran Latavius Murray, he once again resides on the TD-dependent RB3/4 fringe for Week 3's favorable draw against the Washington Commanders.

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.
