Jaylen Warren A Viable RB2 Despite Tough Matchup

Saturday, October 25, 12:41 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is coming off his best performance of the season and will look to stay hot against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. On paper, this is not a favorable matchup for Warren, as the Packers surrender the third-fewest fantasy points per contest and fourth-fewest yards per carry to opposing running backs. However, Green Bay has given up the second-most receptions per game to the position, and Warren remains a key weapon in Pittsburgh's passing attack. This Sunday night showdown carries a healthy projected point total, suggesting enough offensive volume to keep Warren involved. Fantasy managers can continue to trust the fourth-year back as a solid RB2 in all formats.

Tyjae Spears Might Offer Flex Value

Friday, October 24, 9:31 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has seen a fairly minimal role since returning to the field in Week 5. Over the last two games, Spears has rushed 10 times for 53 yards and has been held out of the end zone. It might not seem great on paper, but Spears registered 6.2 and 4.4 yards per carry during those two games. The biggest problem is that he's stuck behind Tony Pollard on the depth chart. At the moment, Spears is doing a better job rushing the ball, so hopefully he'll get more carries going forward. It's also worth noting, Spears has seven receptions over his last two games, so he's getting chances in the receiving game as well. As mentioned, Pollard is the lead back, so Spears probably won't offer anything more than flex value during the Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
