Jeremiyah Love or Tyler Warren: Who Should You Start?

Preliminary board

2026 Week 4 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.

Verdicts sharpen as practice reports land.

Warren's concentrated role outweighs Love's small projection edge

Start Warren: his every-down role and heavy target involvement offer a steadier foundation than Love's committee workload. Love's 2.5-point projection edge is thin for a running back and doesn't offset Warren's much stronger share of the offense. The Colts' higher implied total gives Warren more scoring runway; Love's softer matchup and explosive-play ability keep this from being a runaway call. Warren is the stronger PPR play, though Love's receiving upside could make the gap narrow.

What flips it: A confirmed jump in Love's committee share toward Warren's near-every-down involvement.
