Who Should I Start? Ezekiel Elliott or Jamaal Williams

Sunday, December 3, 8:31 PM

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 17 times for 52 yards on the ground during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught four of five targets for 50 yards through the air. The veteran struggled with efficiency in the running game but made up for it with a key role in the passing attack. Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) exited in the first half and is expected to miss several weeks, leaving Elliott in line to handle lead-back duties on Thursday versus Pittsburgh. He ranks as a high-end RB3/FLEX option in most fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams has played a secondary role to Alvin Kamara since returning from the IR in Week 7, as he has averaged just six touches a game. That role should not change in Week 9, and Williams remains a handcuff option for Kamara. In truly desperate situations, he can be fired up as a touchdown-dependent flex option due to the run-funnel nature of the Bears' defense and the potential of this game getting out of hand. Williams is a very risky play, given that he likely won't see significant enough volume to warrant a productive fantasy game.
