Who Should I Start? Jaylen Warren or Tyjae Spears

Saturday, November 29, 10:54 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had a solid game last week and will look to build on that performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Buffalo has been solid against the pass but extremely vulnerable on the ground, surrendering the third-most rushing yards, the second-most yards per carry, and the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Warren will continue to split work with Kenneth Gainwell, who has emerged as Pittsburgh's preferred receiving back. Still, Warren remains the clear leader on the ground. The 27-year-old has logged double-digit carries in every game he's played this season, while Gainwell has reached 10 carries just twice. Though the Steelers enter this matchup as underdogs, they are projected to keep it competitive at home, suggesting plenty of utilization for Warren throughout. Fantasy managers should treat Warren as a high-end RB2 with upside on Sunday.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears continues to have a limited upside while splitting up the reps in the backfield. Spears has good long term upside, but has a limited ceiling while he continues to split up the backfield duties with Tony Pollard. At the moment, Pollard gets most of the ground work while Spears does the receiving work in the backfield. Last week, Spears rushed three times for four yards, while hauling in four receptions for 21 yards in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old is worth stashing in dynasty formats, but doesn't have great upside in redraft formats. At best, Spears offers low-end flex value for the upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
