Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Bo Nix

Monday, October 20, 12:17 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season in the Week 7 victory over the visiting Washington Commanders on Sunday. In the 44-22 win, Williams was dominant on the ground, going for 116 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries (6.1 yards per carry). It was the 25-year-old's second game in 2025 with over 100 rushing yards, and it was a nice bounce-back effort after he had a season-low 29 ground yards on 13 carries in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He added just one catch on four targets for a gain of two yards. Williams showed his bruising style of play and was able to pick up chunk gains out of the backfield against a weak Commanders defense on Sunday. He is averaging over 5.0 yards per tote in his first year in Dallas and is well on his way to a breakout in his fifth NFL season in Dallas' high-scoring offense. Williams has become a must-start RB2 in fantasy, but it could be tough sledding against his old team, the Denver Broncos, in a Week 8 showdown.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix enters Week 8 as RotoBaller's sixth overall-ranked quarterback in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at home. The Cowboys' defense has been abysmal this season, allowing the most passing yards per game (288.0) of any team so far in 2025. Nix should be able to exploit the Cowboys through the air as he pleases, as the Cowboys have allowed a total of 16 passing touchdowns so far on the season. Nix should be easily inserted in lineups this week as a QB1 after erupting last week for a new career high in fantasy points scored.
