Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Kenneth Gainwell

Sunday, October 1, 2:44 PM

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4 versus the Chicago Bears. He totaled nine yards on two rushes and three receptions before departing. Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin will round out the backfield the rest of the way.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. While the 24-year-old was the clear-cut starter in Week 1 against New England, he has since been relegated to backup duties behind D'Andre Swift, who went nuclear in Gainwell's absence in Week 2. The third-year back still has fantasy relevance, especially in matchups where the Eagles are heavily favored. However, he can only max out as a high-end RB3 with Swift active. This week against Washington, Gainwell has a shot to rank inside the top 36. The Commanders did well against Arizona and Denver but allowed Buffalo to run all over them last week. Consider Gainwell a low-tier flex option in Week 4.
