Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Mohamed Ibrahim

Tuesday, September 16, 11:32 AM

On the heels of a dynamic receiving performance, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is a top-12 fantasy option at his position through the first two weeks of the season. The fourth-year pro hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. While his efficiency on the ground leaves room for improvement, Warren currently leads Pittsburgh in both rushing and receiving heading into a Week 3 duel against the New England Patriots. The inconsistencies we've seen from the Steelers' offense are likely to continue throughout the year, but Warren appears locked in as a focal point. Rookie Kaleb Johnson made a costly mistake on special teams and will need to earn the trust of the coaching staff before carving out an offensive role, while veteran Kenneth Gainwell has been ineffective with his touches to this point. All things considered, Warren is shaping up to be one of the best values in fantasy drafts and can be reliably started as an RB2 moving forward.

Detroit Lions running back Mohamed Ibrahim (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie was carted off the field after suffering a scary lower-body injury in the second half. It's a tough development for the 25-year-old Baltimore native, made worse by the fact that he was injured on his first career touch in his NFL debut. Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds will continue to lead the Detroit backfield.
