Should You Start or Sit Warren in Week 11?
If you remove a game against the best run defense in the league, Jaylen Warren has produced 5.9% above his PPR expectations this season, an impressive feat given the struggles of this offense that lacks creativity.
He’s caught multiple passes in every game this season and has over a dozen attempts on the ground in four straight, usage patterns that project well against a Bengals defense that struggles across the board.
Asking for another 20-touch, 158-yard game isn’t wise (what Warren gave us a month ago in this matchup), but his skill set opens him up to a productive afternoon regardless of the game script, and that puts him in the RB1 discussion this week for me.
I currently have him ranked as the top running back in this game and over much bigger names like Kyren Williams and Breece Hall.
