Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Javonte Williams

Sunday, December 1, 4:46 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major asset as a runner who catches passes and gets red zone work. His six targets were second on the team, and his seven-yard touchdown marked the seventh time in eight weeks that he found the end zone. Mixon should continue being a fantasy lineup staple after the Texans take their bye in Week 14.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams found the end zone on the ground for the second time in the last three weeks, but it came with minimal production in the 41-32 Monday night win over the visiting Cleveland Browns. In addition to the touchdown plunge at the goal line, Williams had only four carries for one yard and caught one of his two targets for just three yards. The story for the 24-year-old was similar to last week's win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, when he had 10 touches that netted four total yards. The five total touches were his second-fewest of the season in a night when both offenses seemingly couldn't be stopped. Additionally, teammate Jaleel McLaughlin led Denver's backfield for a second straight week. Williams continues to be inefficient when he touches the ball and cannot be trusted as much of an RB3/flex coming out of their Week 14 bye to face the Colts in Week 15.
