Who Should I Start? J.K. Dobbins or Jaylen Warren

Tuesday, October 22, 12:14 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins struggled to find room in a Week 7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Dobbins ran the ball 14 times, gaining 40 yards with a long of 11. He was targeted three times in the passing game, making all three catches for a total of 26 yards. Dobbins remained the clear starter in this backfield, as he got 17 touches and every other Chargers running back combined for just six. As long as he stays healthy, he'll remain "the guy" for the Chargers running game, which makes him an RB1/2 depending on the matchup. Week 8 awaits with a Sunday game against the New Orleans Saints.

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.
