Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Kenneth Walker III

Sunday, October 1, 10:36 PM

An injury to Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (hip) in the team's 31-28 come-from-behind victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 4 on Sunday allowed undrafted rookie Jaleel McLaughlin to have his biggest day as a professional. McLaughlin led the team with seven carries for 72 yards (10.3 yards per carry) and also caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Samaje Perine had one fewer carry than McLaughlin, but he mustered only 12 yards on the ground. The 23-year-old's TD came on an 18-yard screen pass for the team's first score of the day. The Youngstown State product has probably already leapfrogged Perine on Denver's RB depth chart, and if Williams misses any time, McLaughlin will be in play as an RB3/flex for fantasy managers.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III totaled 156 yards from scrimmage in Week 3. The second-year back has maintained his lead role though he has seen his snap share shrink week by week. Ironically, Walker saw his biggest week so far in 2023 even with his snap share dropping to 49%. Walker's effectiveness in his role, though, has made him an invaluable piece of Seattle's offense so far this season. The Seahawks are on the road in Week 4, facing the Giants on Monday night. New York has given up at least one touchdown per game to opposing running backs and Walker will be in line for another productive day. He is a must-start for Week 4.
