Jaylen Warren Looks Like Strong Play vs. Bengals

Saturday, September 26, 6:54 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is questionable for Week 3's game against the Cincinnati Bengals but if he can suit up he is in a strong spot with fellow running back Rico Dowdle already ruled out for the Steelers. Warren was a limited participant in Friday's practice so that is a good sign for his participation. For the season, Warren has 21 carries for 89 yards which is good for 4.2 yards per attempt. He also has seven receptions for 61 receiving yards. Warren has always been a good pass-catching back and he should continue to be involved with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' passing game. With Dowdle missing, Warren is in line for a big contest with the potential for a few big catches and more involvement in the rushing attack. The Bengals defense is good but Warren has a positive matchup heading into Week 3.

Braelon Allen Remains a Touchdown-Dependent Bench Option

Saturday, September 26, 5:57 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen only carried five times against Green Bay, gaining seven yards, but one of those attempts went for a five-yard touchdown. He also caught his only target for eight yards. The score helped his fantasy line, but the workload was much more important. Breece Hall handled 16 carries and all five running back targets after Allen received 10 carries in the opener. Detroit was hit hard by James Cook III last week, but Allen does not have enough volume to chase the matchup by itself. RotoBaller ranks him as the RB42 for Week 3. He remains an important bench stash because of the role he could inherit if Hall misses time, but last week's touchdown does not suddenly make Allen a dependable weekly flex.
