Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Romeo Doubs

Monday, October 20, 12:17 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season in the Week 7 victory over the visiting Washington Commanders on Sunday. In the 44-22 win, Williams was dominant on the ground, going for 116 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries (6.1 yards per carry). It was the 25-year-old's second game in 2025 with over 100 rushing yards, and it was a nice bounce-back effort after he had a season-low 29 ground yards on 13 carries in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He added just one catch on four targets for a gain of two yards. Williams showed his bruising style of play and was able to pick up chunk gains out of the backfield against a weak Commanders defense on Sunday. He is averaging over 5.0 yards per tote in his first year in Dallas and is well on his way to a breakout in his fifth NFL season in Dallas' high-scoring offense. Williams has become a must-start RB2 in fantasy, but it could be tough sledding against his old team, the Denver Broncos, in a Week 8 showdown.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has quietly been one of the most trustworthy receivers on this Packers team in 2025, but especially over the last few weeks. Doubs has three straight games of eight or more targets, with at least five receptions and 55 yards in each game. For the first time in Doubs' career, he has a stable points floor for fantasy. He's been the go-to wide receiver for Jordan Love and is taking full advantage of the fact that the Packers' receiving group has been hit hard by injuries. The Packers head to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers in Week 8. With Doubs on this nice run of fantasy production, and the Steelers giving up the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, consider Doubs a solid WR3 option in Week 8.
