Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Trey Benson

Saturday, November 15, 1:15 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had his most productive outing of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, and he'll look to replicate that success against them at home in Week 11. Cincinnati has been shredded by opposing backs all year, surrendering the most fantasy points per game, the second-most yards per carry, the fourth-most receiving yards, and the second-most total touchdowns to the position. In addition to the juicy matchup, conversations surrounding Warren's workload bolster his fantasy upside this week. Both head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have publicly stated that they would like the 27-year-old to see more touches going forward. Even with Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson mixing in, Warren should have more than enough opportunity to provide top-10 fantasy production as a clear RB1 on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) could quickly become a hot commodity in fantasy circles as he nears a return from injured reserve. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that he did not have an update on the running back's status, but he is now eligible to have his practice window opened at any time. Fellow running back James Conner (ankle) will miss the rest of the year, so Benson figures to have a clear hold of the No. 1 spot in the backfield upon his return, giving Benson rest-of-season potential even if he doesn't play in Week 11. Some redraft managers lost their nerve and dropped him during the IR stint, which would make him an easy addition, but he's also a sensible trade target for managers thinking about making a playoff push.
