Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Tank Bigsby

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams carried the ball 15 times for 54 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. He also caught two of three targets for an additional seven yards through the air. Williams' final rushing line amounted to just 3.6 yards per carry, but he bailed out fantasy managers with a pair of goal-line touchdowns. Unfortunately, we can't expect him to continue scoring twice (or even once) per game, and the yardage inefficiency paints a much clearer picture than his touchdowns. Fantasy managers should continue to view Williams as a mid-range RB3/FLEX, especially with Miles Sanders continuing to rotate in.

The Jacksonville Jaguars feature one of the NFL's deepest running back rooms, and Tank Bigsby has emerged as more than just a change-of-pace option. Bigsby outcarried Travis Etienne 168 to 150 in 2024, showcasing the coaching staff's trust in him as a steady early-down runner. Etienne, however, remains a dynamic weapon with pass-catching and big-play ability. Rookie Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen also provide depth, but fantasy managers should expect another close split between Bigsby and Etienne. Both backs are draftable, with Etienne carrying more upside, while Bigsby offers consistent flex appeal.
