Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Kyren Williams

Friday, November 14, 6:53 PM

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder/toe) of the Minnesota Vikings does not appear on the Week 11 injury report and should be considered an RB2 option when his team plays host to NFC North rival Chicago on Sunday. Since the veteran returned from a hamstring injury that required a stint on injured reserve, he has clearly been the favored option over backfield mate Jordan Mason. Jones played more than 70% of the team's offense snaps against Baltimore in Week 10, and he's shown he can help managers even when the offense is struggling. Despite a sloppy overall game last week, Jones still managed 47 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and three catches for 22 yards. Jones already has a steady role in a decent offense, but there is some added potential this week against a Bears defense that has been middling against fantasy running backs.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams scored his fourth rushing touchdown in the past three games in their 21-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Williams was efficient with 91 rushing yards on 12 carries to go with one reception (two targets) for five yards. The 25-year-old has had a standout season as a big piece of the Rams' high-powered offense and again ranks as one of the best backs in fantasy. Williams isn't known for his explosive rush ability, but he ripped off a few in this game, including his longest run of the season with a 34-yard gash in the first quarter. It was a tough matchup on paper against a Seattle defense that entered the day ranked third in yards per carry allowed (3.7), and the Rams didn't have their best offensive performance, but Williams still came through for fantasy managers.
