Who Should I Start? Javonte Williams or Zay Flowers

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.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers continues to possess the highest ceiling of the team's wideouts. He's averaging 7.2 targets, 4.7 receptions, and 66.1 yards per game this season and sits at the WR8 in half-PPR formats. In Week 12, he'll take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. The Chargers are right in the middle of the pack against opposing receiver groups, so Flowers should be able to find some operating space. The speedy wideout hovers around a high-end WR2 for this matchup with the ceiling of a WR1.
