Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Jase McClellan

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is coming off his best performance of the season and will look to stay hot against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. On paper, this is not a favorable matchup for Warren, as the Packers surrender the third-fewest fantasy points per contest and fourth-fewest yards per carry to opposing running backs. However, Green Bay has given up the second-most receptions per game to the position, and Warren remains a key weapon in Pittsburgh's passing attack. This Sunday night showdown carries a healthy projected point total, suggesting enough offensive volume to keep Warren involved. Fantasy managers can continue to trust the fourth-year back as a solid RB2 in all formats.

Atlanta Falcons rookie sixth-round running back Jase McClellan (undisclosed) has been banged up the past few weeks in training camp but should make the final 53-man roster as a fourth running back. The former Alabama product carried the ball four times for 12 yards and added an 11-yard catch on his only target in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 22-year-old picked up 55 rushing yards last week against the Baltimore Ravens and looks lined up as the team's RB4 behind Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Carlos Washington. McClellan fell to the sixth round in April because of a foot injury that cut his final season short at Alabama last year. His skill set doesn't particularly stand out, but McClellan is a well-rounded rookie that will give Atlanta depth at the position. McClellan is only worth stashing in deep dynasty/keeper leagues.
