Jaylen Warren Carries Fringe RB1 Status on Thursday Night Football

Wednesday, September 30, 4:58 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had a career-best performance in Week 3 and should continue to operate in a workhorse role against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. With Rico Dowdle (toe) set to miss a second consecutive contest, Warren's competition for snaps will likely remain Travis Homer and Lew Nichols, who combined for two total touches last week. Warren, meanwhile, handled 17 carries and four targets, turning his 21 opportunities into 176 yards. Cleveland looks like a tough matchup for fantasy running backs on paper, but it is surrendering 4.75 yards per rush attempt to the position, the fifth-highest mark in the league. However, the Browns have yet to allow a rushing touchdown through three games. Fantasy managers should view this as a middle-of-the-road matchup but remain confident in Warren as a volume-based top-12 fantasy option.

Jalen Coker Set Up for Big Game if Active in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 5:10 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) is currently listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a quad injury. The 24-year-old suffered the injury during Carolina's Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns and was forced to leave the game. He did not practice on Wednesday, but was able to log limited practice sessions on both Thursday and Friday. If Coker can play against Detroit, he could be set up for a monster week. The third-year wideout has been excellent when healthy so far this season, recording 16 catches for 204 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets across his first two games. The Lions' defense has also been atrocious against the pass, allowing over 325 passing yards per game through the first three weeks of the season. If Coker is active, he profiles as a solid WR2 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.
