Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Brian Robinson Jr.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Warren was on the injury report with an ankle injury this week, but managed to avoid an injury designation after practicing in full on Friday. Warren should resume his role as the lead back heading into this Week 12 contest. Kenneth Gainwell has been more involved recently, but fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. Warren continues to be productive and should be a fine RB2 for this upcoming Week 12 matchup.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s recent surge in production hit a snag in Week 11, but he could bounce back against a Carolina Panthers defense that has struggled against the run lately. In Weeks 9 and 10, Robinson scored touchdowns and posted his two highest rushing yard totals of 2025. He fell back to earth in Week 11, though, gaining 24 yards on eight carries in the 49ers' rout of the Cardinals. Despite his minimal role behind Christian McCaffrey, Robinson stands to benefit from the 49ers' upcoming matchup against the Panthers. Over the last four weeks, Carolina has given up 5.23 yards per carry to opposing running backs and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Robinson projects as an RB4 in Week 12 and has flex potential for fantasy football managers in a bind with four NFL teams on bye.
