Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Jaydon Blue

Friday, December 26, 8:31 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (hip) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and does not carry an injury designation into a Week 17 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. There is a chance, however, that Warren's workload could be limited depending on the outcome of the Baltimore Ravens' contest on Saturday. If the Green Bay Packers defeat the Ravens, Pittsburgh will clinch the AFC North title regardless of Sunday's result. In that scenario, the Steelers could choose to limit reps or rest starters entirely, so fantasy managers will need to monitor the situation up until game time. Assuming Warren plays his normal role, he should find success against a struggling Browns defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs over the past eight weeks. He would be a borderline must-start and should be viewed as a fantasy RB2 if active.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, leading to him being a late-round dart throw in fantasy football drafts. Blue has been unable to carry over that momentum during the summer into his first NFL season, though, as he's been active for only four games in 2025. The 21-year-old fifth-round selection out of Texas didn't make his debut until Week 5, and he has been a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he fumbled the ball away in the team's Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. It seemed as though Blue had a clear path to RB2 duties after Miles Sanders had season-ending knee surgery, but Malik Davis has ascended the depth chart behind starter Javonte Williams instead. In his four games this year, Blue has only 22 carries for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. Blue should only be stashed in keeper/dynasty leagues.
