Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Tyjae Spears

Friday, October 17, 1:02 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren rushed for 127 yards on 16 carries during Thursday's Week 7 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught four of his five targets for an additional 31 receiving yards. Although Warren wasn't able to find the end zone on Thursday night, he still had a terrific performance with 7.94 yards per carry and a significant impact in the passing game. His efficiency likely peaked thanks to his matchup against a Bengals defensive line sans Trey Hendrickson (hip), but he still has a favorable fantasy outlook heading into Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. He continues to rank as a steady RB2 option in fantasy football.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has ascended into a significant role through two weeks post-injury. Now, he'll look to handle an increased workload in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. Spears has seen a gradual increase in usage through his two games, with the most notable difference being his snap share jumping from 25 percent to 59 percent. As of last week, he was on the field more than Tony Pollard, though he still logged less than half as many rushing attempts as the veteran. One of Spears' specialties is pass catching, which has given him a path to playing time. The Patriots have allowed the third-fewest rushing yards to running backs, but the 10th-most receiving yards to the position.
