Who Should I Start? Jamaal Williams or Chase Brown

Monday, August 11, 12:00 PM

Free-agent running back Jamaal Williams is scheduled to work out for the Miami Dolphins on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams worked out for the Chicago Bears on Saturday, so he could be getting close to signing with a team for the 2025 season. The 30-year-old played in 14 games for the New Orleans Saints in 2024, rushing for 164 yards and one touchdown on 48 carries. He's a complementary piece at this point, but Williams has been an effective goal-line and short-yardage player at certain times in his career. Miami has Jaylen Wright, Alexander Mattison, and Ollie Gordon II as the leading candidates for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane. However, Mattison (neck/shoulder) left the team's first preseason game early with neck and shoulder soreness, so Williams could be brought in as a veteran replacement.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown is looking to build off a strong performance he had as a receiver in Week 9. Brown hauled in eight of his 14 targets for 75 yards during their loss to the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old struggled with only 37 yards on the ground, but the eight receptions helped save his fantasy value. The Bengals had a bye week this past weekend, but head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Brown rushed for over 100 yards during their last matchup in Week 7. The Bengals are going to be without Samaje Perine (ankle) for a few weeks. That being said, Brown figures to see almost all the work in the backfield. He played 96 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Bears. Brown should be a focal point in this offense going forward.
