Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Rachaad White

Friday, November 22, 10:49 PM

After being dropped by many fantasy managers following Week 10, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams is firmly back in the RB3/flex mix for an upcoming matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 12. Williams had only three touches and saw rookie Audric Estime take over the backfield in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but Williams returned to lead-back duties in last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, carrying the ball nine times for 59 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 28 yards. Estime isn't going away, but the 24-year-old Williams' demise was premature. As long as he can be efficient, Williams could produce nicely as an RB3/flex this weekend against a banged-up Raiders defense that has been a top-10 matchup in fantasy this year for opposing RBs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his workload in the passing game increase over the last few weeks. In fact, White has five receptions or more with 35-plus receiving in three of his last four games. The biggest problem for White has been in the rushing game. White has been held to 40 rushing yards or less in all of his last four games. The Bucs continue to use a committee approach at running back which limits the value of White. It's worth noting that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to return this weekend. His return could mean less targets for White in the passing game. Fantasy managers should treat White as a low-end RB2 for Week 12.
