Who Should I Start? Nico Collins or Jaylen Warren

Tuesday, September 16, 1:20 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught three of nine targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in a 20-19 loss against Tampa Bay on Monday night. Collins finished Houston's first drive with a beautiful catch on a fade ball for a 29-yard touchdown. It was an otherwise frustrating night for the star receiver, catching only two of his next eight targets for 23 yards. The Houston offense ran only 46 plays in the game, which limited the production of everyone, but Collins and Stroud were consistently just off on a couple of occasions. He demanded 39% of the team's targets, including three end zone targets, so better days should be ahead for Collins. He draws a matchup against a Jacksonville defense that just allowed Ja'Ja'Marrr Chase to go for 165 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. He could be seen as a buy-low in trades this week.

On the heels of a dynamic receiving performance, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is a top-12 fantasy option at his position through the first two weeks of the season. The fourth-year pro hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. While his efficiency on the ground leaves room for improvement, Warren currently leads Pittsburgh in both rushing and receiving heading into a Week 3 duel against the New England Patriots. The inconsistencies we've seen from the Steelers' offense are likely to continue throughout the year, but Warren appears locked in as a focal point. Rookie Kaleb Johnson made a costly mistake on special teams and will need to earn the trust of the coaching staff before carving out an offensive role, while veteran Kenneth Gainwell has been ineffective with his touches to this point. All things considered, Warren is shaping up to be one of the best values in fantasy drafts and can be reliably started as an RB2 moving forward.
