Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or De'Von Achane

Wednesday, October 15, 8:43 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren returned from a knee injury in Week 6 and is set to be heavily featured against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Cincinnati has given up 10 total touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, tied for the most in the NFL. The Bengals have also allowed a running back to eclipse 85 scrimmage yards in every game this year. While Warren will cede some opportunities to Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson, he remains the most likely of the trio to reach that mark. With his ability to contribute both on the ground and as a weapon for Aaron Rodgers in the passing game, Warren profiles as an RB2 with plenty of upside on Thursday night.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 16 times for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught four of his six targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Achane had his best rushing performance of the year, posting season-highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. His speed proved too challenging for Los Angeles' defense to slow down, and he padded his fantasy stats with some extra contributions in the passing game, too. Of course, it wasn't quite enough to get Miami the victory, as the Dolphins fell to 1-5 on the year. The good news for fantasy managers is that Achane has been able to remain a top-10 fantasy running back despite the Dolphins' struggles. He'll continue to be a mid-range RB1 for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.
