Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Javonte Williams

Friday, November 22, 5:29 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 27 passes for 219 yards and an interception while adding three carries for seven yards, a touchdown, and a lost fumble in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. It was a cold, snowy day in Cleveland, which dampened the Browns' passing attack as they leaned on the running game for all three of their touchdowns. Winston did have a short touchdown pass dropped by David Njoku in the second half as several receivers had difficulty squeezing the ball in the cold conditions. Settling in as a boom/bust QB2 in fantasy, Winston will now have extra time to prepare to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game.

After seeing only one carry in the Week 10 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams took over the backfield in the 38-6 blowout victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11. Williams finished with a team-high nine carries for 59 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches on five targets for 28 yards. Fantasy managers may have prematurely dropped Williams after his dud last week, but we can't completely blame you after the Broncos continually said rookie Audric Estime was in line for more work. We cannot write Williams off just yet in 2024, but Estime will continue to be involved in Denver's backfield after seeing nine touches for 25 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old has 80-plus scrimmage yards in five of his last eight games and will be back on the RB3/flex radar in a plus Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
