Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Jaydon Blue

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 16 carries for 31 yards and two touchdowns while adding two catches for minus-two yards in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Warren found the end zone twice on the day for the first time in his career, but was bottled up on his touches otherwise. The 16 carries were also tied for the second most Warren had ever had in a game, but it was one of his most inefficient outings as the Colts' run defense shut off rushing lanes. The 27-year-old has established himself as the Steelers' workhorse and a focal point of their offense. Aaron Rodgers frequently looks for him on checkdowns, where Warren is electric after the catch. Warren should continue to project as a high-end RB2 for fantasy in the coming weeks.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue and wide receiver Jonathan Mingo are both healthy scratches for the team's Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer was very critical of Blue following the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos, in which Blue had a costly fumble. The 21-year-old will now be inactive this week in favor of Malik Davis as Dallas' RB2 behind starter Javonte Williams. It's a step back for Blue, who didn't make his NFL debut until Week 5 for the Cowboys. In his four games played, the fifth-rounder out of Texas has carried the ball 22 times for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) while adding one catch for five yards. While Blue probably won't be in the doghouse for the rest of the season, he's in street clothes on Monday night and has currently lost out on the RB2 role in Dallas.
