Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or De'Von Achane

Friday, October 10, 9:59 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has been one of the best backs in the league early in the season. The 25-year-old has found a new home in Dallas and appears to be earning himself a nice payday at the end of the season. Last week, Williams rushed 16 times for a season-high 135 yards with a touchdown in the win over the New York Jets. Williams has rushed for over 75 yards in four of the first five games this season. He remains an elite RB1 for the upcoming plus-matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the best running backs all season, despite his team's offense running hot and cold. Achane hasn't run for 100 yards in any game, but he has supplemented with great production in the passing game. He has at least six catches in three of his last four games after hauling in six of his seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown last week. He has four total touchdowns in five games while averaging 65.5 rushing yards and 34.6 passing yards per contest. This week, he and the Dolphins will take on the Chargers, who have been very good against the run this season, but did give up two running back touchdowns and 124 rushing yards against the Commanders. Achane's consistently high volume and big-play ability have kept him an elite RB1 in every matchup. In RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings, he is the No. 3 RB in PPR leagues and the No. 8 RB in standard leagues.
