Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Rhamondre Stevenson

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was unable to offer fantasy managers much value during the Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Williams rushed the ball 15 times for 83 yards and lost a fumble in the defeat. The 25-year-old was actually solid on the ground with 5.53 yards per carry during this game. However, Williams was a non-factor in the receiving game which hurt his fantasy value. The Cowboys are coming off a bye week and should be well rested for their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce back performance from Williams during this one.

ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks that New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will "reclaim his former roles as the Patriots' main between-the-tackles runner" when he's healthy. Stevenson injured his toe in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns and has missed the last two games. The Pats entered the week with hope that he'd return for Thursday night's game against the division-rival New York Jets, but as of Tuesday night, "it looked as if that return would likely have to wait until Week 12." Rookie TreVeyon Henderson went over 100 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the Patriots "still trust the veteran Stevenson more in certain spots and would like to continue using both of them." It's not great news for Henderson's fantasy managers, but Graziano also adds that New England could look to incorporate the rookie more once Stevenson is back.
