Who Should I Start? Justin Herbert or Jaylen Warren

Saturday, September 6, 12:46 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 318 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Friday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also took three sacks and rushed for 32 yards. The former first-round pick started off the 2025 season on the right foot, and there's no indication that he's slowing down anytime soon. If anything, his schedule only gets easier in the short term as the Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders next week. Herbert has quickly asserted himself as a strong QB1 option in fantasy football.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren will begin his first campaign as the team's featured ballcarrier in a road bout with the New York Jets. Warren thrived in a complementary role through his first three seasons, averaging 4.8 yards per tote while adding 127 receptions. Although he is expected to lead Pittsburgh's backfield ahead of rookie Kaleb Johnson, Warren will be tested by a solid New York defense. The Jets shut down running backs in the passing game and held the position to the fifth-fewest yards per carry in 2024. This is expected to be a low-scoring affair, so while Warren doesn't offer extreme upside, he can be started as a volume-based RB2 or flex option in Week 1.
