Jaylen Warren's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 18 (2023). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Jaylen Warren for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End RB2/Flex Option
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been part of a solid 1-2 punch in the backfield with Najee Harris. The second-year player is the RB26 for the year, averaging 10 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
While many hoped he would take over the backfield and push Najee out of the picture, Warren has been the consistent No. 2 running back this season. However, he has had a solid and fantasy-relevant role. The young running back had 13 rushing attempts for 75 yards and the first Steelers touchdown last week in the massive win over the Seattle Seahawks.
The Steelers face the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in a must-win game for Pittsburgh. They still have a chance to make the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Ravens have nothing to play for after clinching the No. 1 seed last week.
Baltimore has held running backs to the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game this season (16.7). Yet, Harris and Warren are solid starting options in season-long or DFS lineups this week with their rushing attack clicking. The Ravens will sit key starters on defense in a meaningless game.
