Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Trey Benson

Saturday, November 1, 12:29 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been steady this season but will face a tough test in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis has been stout versus opposing backs, allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game and just five total touchdowns to the position. The good news for Warren is that this home matchup is expected to be high-scoring, giving Pittsburgh's offense as a whole a boost for fantasy. Even if the Steelers are forced to abandon the run to keep up with the Colts' high-powered attack, Warren should remain a reliable pass-catching weapon for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Fantasy managers can continue to treat the 27-year-old as an RB2 with a safe floor in PPR formats.

According to Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, running back Trey Benson (knee) has been attending team meetings to "get his mind back on football." The 23-year-old suffered a torn meniscus in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. As a result, he underwent surgery and was placed on the Injured Reserve list. Benson had moved to the No. 1 spot on the depth chart after James Conner (Achilles) was ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. In four appearances, he ran for 160 yards off 29 carries, adding 13 grabs (16 targets) for 64 yards. It appears he's inching closer toward a return. For now, the 2024 No. 66 overall pick will remain on the IR, with Bam Knight expected to handle the majority of the touches out of the backfield. It's unknown if Benson will reclaim his place atop the depth chart immediately upon his return. With that said, Benson is worth stashing on fantasy rosters, although it may not be wise to start him until it's clear he's ready for a full workload. The Cardinals will face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night before turning their attention to the Seahawks in Week 10.
