Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny took three carries for nine yards and added one reception for five yards during the team's 34-28 win over the Minnesota Vikings. After being a healthy scratch last week against New England, the 27-year-old was able to make his way onto the active roster after Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was ruled out Wednesday. However, it led to only four total touches as D'Andre Swift dominated the snap share out of the backfield to the tune of 181 total yards. Boston Scott (concussion) was given carries before Penny, and he could have taken them all if he had not exited the game early. The former Seattle Seahawk is buried on the depth chart and can safely be dropped to the waiver wire unless injuries occur ahead of him. We will have to wait and see if he will be active for the Eagles' next game against Tampa Bay.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to see an increased usage each week. In Week 3, Warren saw a 45.2 percent snap share, which was his largest of the season. Despite that, both Warren and Najee Harris have struggled on the ground early in the season. Warren has been the better fantasy option between the two due to his receiving ability. However, both backs should have better games versus the Houston Texans defense in Week 4. A defensive unit that has allowed a league-high seven touchdowns on the ground through three games. The expectation is that these two will continue to split up the reps, so neither player has great value. Warren should be able to carry low-end flex value in PPR formats.
Still trying to decide between Penny and Warren? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Rashaad Penny is projected to score 0.0 points this week while Jaylen Warren is projected to score 1.5 points.
