Who Should I Start? James Conner or Javonte Williams

Monday, September 25, 12:54 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner carried the rock 14 times for 98 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-16 Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran back helped kick-start the offense with a five-yard TD dash in the first quarter, from which they never looked back. The Arizona offense is slowly coming together, and Conner has played a significant role in assisting with the transcending rushing attack. He has rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns in the last two weeks and will look to keep that going in next week's road matchup against a tough 49ers defense.

The Denver Broncos couldn't really lean on their ground game after falling down big to the Miami Dolphins early in Week 3 on Sunday in a record-breaking 70-20 loss. Running back Javonte Williams did lead the backfield yet again with 11 carries, but he produced only 42 yards (3.8 yards per carry) on those 11 rushing attempts. He caught two of his three targets through the air for an additional 23 yards. The 23-year-old is still finding his footing in 2023 after tearing his ACL and LCL in Week 4 of last season against the Las Vegas Raiders, but the good news is that neither Samaje Perine or rookie Jaleel McLaughlin have really threatened Williams' workload early in the year as the Broncos ease him in. A Week 4 matchup against the 0-3 Chicago Bears could be a prime opportunity for Williams to be leaned on heavily next week.
