Jaylen Warren Highly Efficient Rushing Thursday, Adds Value as Receiver

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.

Zach Charbonnet Remains a Low-Ceiling Option in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 8:53 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of five games played in 2025. However, that production has been anchored by touchdowns. Otherwise, Charbonnet has been nowhere near a starting fantasy option. Charbonnet is splitting time with fellow running back Kenneth Walker III. Both backs are stealing work from the other. Charbonnet has also been relatively inefficient on the ground this season. His 2.6 yards per carry are highly disappointing. The sledding does not project to improve in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Houston is No. 5 against opposing running backs in fantasy. Additionally, the Texans are allowing just 3.81 yards per carry to opposing backs. Unless the Seahawks find themselves at the goal line with a chance to hand it off to Charbonnet, he is likely to have a long day. Charbonnet is a touchdown-dependent flex option in Week 7. You can likely find a better wide receiver to fill your flex on the waiver wire.
