Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Javonte Williams

Friday, October 17, 8:05 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts now has multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games, scoring both on the ground and through the air last Thursday against the Giants. In Week 7 Hurts has a tougher challenge with a Vikings team sporting the second-best pass defense in the league, allowing just 157.6 yards per game. Philly is hungry for a victory after suffering back-to-back losses, so expect their offense to be full throttle. Plus, the chemistry between Hurts and his lead receiver A.J. Brown seems to have been mostly restored. Despite a daunting matchup, Hurts is still worthy of a solid QB1 slot.

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had his worst game of the season in Week 6, recording just 34 scrimmage yards on 18 touches against the Carolina Panthers. Still, the 25-year-old is having an excellent season, as he's logged 559 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 114 total touches through the first six weeks of 2025. The Cowboys have had a penchant for playing high-scoring games so far this season, and they could have another on tap in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Williams has played a workhorse, three-down role all year in Dallas, which put him in a good position to be productive each week. If there's any cause for concern, it's that Washington has allowed just four rushing touchdowns through its first six games. Still, Williams projects for close to 20 touches and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 7.
