Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Chris Olave

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.

According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the New Orleans Saints are not expected to trade wide receiver Chris Olave ahead of this year's deadline. Olave is in the final year of his rookie contract, sparking speculation about a potential move, but the Saints reportedly have no plans to deal him and are instead interested in a contract extension for their young star. Olave has been a target hog in 2025, catching 44 of 71 targets for 440 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. With the Saints committed to keeping him in New Orleans, Olave should continue to dominate the passing volume and profiles as a low-end WR2 for the rest of the fantasy season.
