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

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice session and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Bears, per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Warren made steady progress throughout the week as he began the week with a DNP on Wednesday before being upgraded to limited on Thursday and ultimately clearing the injury report by Friday. The 27-year-old injured his ankle during Pittsburgh's win over the Bengals in Week 11, but said that he could have re-entered the game if the team needed him to. Kenneth Gainwell went off while Warren was sidelined, collecting a season-high seven catches for 81 yards with two touchdowns. Gainwell has been more involved recently, and he could continue to see more work with how productive he's been and with Warren banged up, but Warren is still the Steelers' best back and can be started as an RB2 for Week 12 against the Bears.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane put together an excellent fantasy day in his team's overtime victory against the Washington Commanders by compiling 165 total yards on 26 touches. Though he didn't score, Achane caught all five targets for 45 yards and ended the day with 120 rushing yards from 21 carries. As Miami's best offensive weapon, Achane was involved early and often, and he performed capably against a struggling Washington defense. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Ollie Gordon II scored a one-yard touchdown, the team's only one of the day. Still, Achane has shown he deserves the benefit of the doubt every week, even on a Dolphins team that has underperformed overall.
