Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Tyjae Spears

Saturday, November 15, 4:50 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has consistently dominated the work out of the Cowboys' backfield all year. Williams has been one of the most reliable players in the Dallas offense this season and is currently on pace to finish as a top-12 fantasy running back. He was held in check in his last game against the Cardinals in Week 9, but he remains one of the most consistent options at the position. This week, Williams and the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders, a defense that has been fairly mediocre against the run. The Raiders are allowing around 106 rushing yards per game and have given up 12 rushing touchdowns on the year. This sets up a strong opportunity for Williams and the Dallas offense to get back on track against a lackluster Raiders unit. RotoBaller currently has Williams ranked as the RB5 for Week 11.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had four carries for three yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Spears also had five catches for 31 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old was able to claw out 8.4 fantasy points, making it the fifth straight game with over seven fantasy points. Sunday also marked the third time this season Spears out-snapped backfield mate Tony Pollard in a game. Spears continues to live off his receiving production to stay flex-worthy for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. Nearly all of his fantasy points were earned through the air, making it the fourth time in five games this season he's done that. Spears will remain a flex option in PPR leagues despite a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.
