Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or TreVeyon Henderson

Tuesday, October 28, 8:12 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned 13 carries into 62 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in a Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Warren ran efficiently in the first half but became an afterthought late as Pittsburgh fell behind early in the fourth quarter. His utilization will be worth monitoring in Week 9 against the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts, who shouldn't struggle to score on the Steelers' faltering defense. The Colts have been strong against the run this season, so Warren's best path to production likely comes as a receiving weapon for Aaron Rodgers. Fantasy managers can continue to roll with the 27-year-old as a solid RB2 heading into Sunday's matchup.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's long-awaited emergence finally happened during last Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie rushed for 75 yards on 10 carries, with his best play being a 27-yard run. He wasn't involved in the passing game, nor did he lead the team in touches, but he was far more efficient than Rhamondre Stevenson and proved that he can excel even against a strong run defense like Cleveland's. An increased rushing workload is a good sign for Henderson going forward, as he should continue to earn more snaps on a wide variety of downs. His 21 percent snap share from last weekend is bound to increase, too. The biggest area of focus for Henderson now is ball security, as he lost his first career fumble against Cleveland. With that said, Stevenson hasn't been any better, losing three fumbles of his own in 2025. Moving forward, Henderson should continue to eat into Stevenson's workload while emerging as a fantasy football threat. He should be added off waivers in leagues with at least 10 teams, and he could be a worthwhile RB3/flex option in leagues with at least 12-14 teams when he takes on the Falcons in Week 9.
