Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Javonte Williams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (neck) is "good" after he suffered a stinger late in the 30-7 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 12. Mayfield's neck injury isn't expected to impact him moving forward as the team prepares to face the division-rival Carolina Panthers in Week 13. Injury aside, the 29-year-old veteran was impressive in the win over the G-Men, going 24-for-30 for 294 yards with no TDs or interceptions. He added four carries for 29 yards and a highlight-reel touchdown run. On the negative side, Mayfield fumbled twice and lost one. It helped that Mayfield got his top target back in receiver Mike Evans, who he connected with five times for 68 yards. With Evans back and with another nice matchup against Carolina this upcoming weekend, Mayfield should be on the map as a low-end QB1 in fantasy.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had a disaster of a performance in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday a week after taking over lead-back duties in Denver's backfield. Williams had a team-high eight carries but produced minus-two yards while catching two of four targets for just six yards. In a great matchup against a banged-up and floundering Raiders defense, the 24-year-old fell flat and has quickly become an avoidable RB3/flex in a Broncos backfield that appears to be playing musical chairs in a three-man committee that also involves Jaleel McLaughlin, who had a team-high 44 rushing yards, and rookie Audric Estime. He has now had single-digit carries in each of the last three games and figures to continue to share the load with McLaughlin and Estime in Week 13 versus the Cleveland Browns.
