Who Should I Start? Chase Edmonds or Javonte Williams

Free-agent running back Chase Edmonds, who last played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023, is signing a deal to join the Washington Commanders' practice squad, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Edmonds will join a young Washington backfield in 2025 after they just lost Austin Ekeler to a torn Achilles tendon last Thursday night in the loss to the Green Bay Packers. For now, the Commanders will roll with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt as their lead back, with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. serving in change-of-pace roles. Rodriguez had a strong training camp and preseason, but he was a healthy scratch in the first two weeks of the regular season. While we wouldn't recommend starting him in Week 3, he's definitely on the radar for a waiver-wire pickup this week, especially if you just lost Ekeler for the year.

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was unable to offer fantasy managers much value during the Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Williams rushed the ball 15 times for 83 yards and lost a fumble in the defeat. The 25-year-old was actually solid on the ground with 5.53 yards per carry during this game. However, Williams was a non-factor in the receiving game which hurt his fantasy value. The Cowboys are coming off a bye week and should be well rested for their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce back performance from Williams during this one.
