Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Kenneth Walker III

Saturday, November 22, 2:42 PM

Across 10 games this season, Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has recorded 809 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 161 carries. The 25-year-old has dominated backfield touches in Dallas all year long and should continue to do so even after the Cowboys signed running back Malik Davis to the active roster on Saturday. Dallas has a difficult matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have not allowed an opposing offense to score 10 points since Week 8. Still, Philadelphia's biggest strength is against the pass, as they rank 18th in yards per carry allowed (4.3) and 21st in rushing touchdowns allowed (11) among NFL defenses. In his first matchup of the season against the Eagles in Week 1, Williams recorded 64 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 17 touches. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report as a limited participant this past Friday. Despite the last-minute injury scare, Walker will suit up as the Seahawks' primary back. He's coming off an impressive game against the Los Angeles Rams in which he had 16 carries for 67 rushing yards and one touchdown, plus three catches for an additional 44 receiving yards. Amid a relatively inconsistent campaign in which he has shared the workload with Zach Charbonnet, Walker finds himself as the overall RB23 in fantasy scoring this season. He has a great opportunity to strengthen his fantasy value against a Titans defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. Walker ranks as the overall RB18 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
