Who Should I Start? Travis Etienne or Jaylen Warren

Wednesday, October 23, 12:25 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is still "day-to-day" with a hamstring injury as the team prepares for a Week 8 tilt against the visiting Green Bay Packers this Sunday. Etienne will do individual drills in practice on Wednesday and will then work with trainers, which means he's likely to be listed as limited on the practice report. The 25-year-old was listed as week-to-week last week and did not play in London in the win over the New England Patriots. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks in practice this week, there's a good chance Etienne will rejoin Jacksonville's backfield this weekend. However, with Tank Bigsby continuing to produce -- he had two more touchdowns in Week 7 -- Etienne might be more of a change-of-pace option for the Jags instead of their leading ball-carrier.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 12 carries for 44 yards and came down with two of three targets for 15 receiving yards in a Week 7 win over the New York Jets. Although he was once again outshined by Najee Harris, Warren was given his biggest workload of the season on Sunday night. He operated as the primary pass-catching option out of the backfield for quarterback Russell Wilson and was on the receiving end of an important third-down conversion in the third quarter that eventually led to a touchdown. Warren should continue to operate in a similar role moving forward and could eventually play his way into weekly flex consideration. He's worth stashing in most fantasy leagues and will look to contribute against the New York Giants in Week 8.
