Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Devon Achane

Sunday, October 13, 11:50 PM

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had the best game of his season in last week's win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders but followed it up with a miserable performance in the 23-16 Week 6 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Williams finished with six carries for only 23 yards and a lost fumble, adding three catches on six targets for 13 receiving yards. He had as many carries as quarterback Bo Nix, and his nine touches tied a season low. About the only positive on the day was that his six targets tied for the team high. Outside of Williams' 111-yard scrimmage day in Week 5, he has done very little for fantasy managers and just hasn't looked explosive at all as Denver's lead back. Through six weeks, the 24-year-old has also yet to find the end zone. It won't get any easier on a quick turnaround next Thursday on the road in a hostile environment against the Saints. Williams will be a low-upside, low-floor RB3/flex for that one.

Per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) was back at practice on Monday following the team's Week 6 bye. He was listed as a limited participant and wore a red non-contact jersey. Despite the limited session, it's a significant milestone for Achane, who appears to be progressing well through the league's concussion protocol. He still has a hurdle to clear, but it's fantastic news for him and the Dolphins, who are still navigating a period without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). It's imperative to monitor his status over the coming days, but he evidently has a good shot at suiting up for a road tilt against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. If he's active, the 23-year-old is an intriguing play against a Colts defense that's allowed the most yards in the league opposing rushing attacks.
