Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Kyren Williams

Saturday, October 25, 9:13 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been the best player in fantasy through the first seven weeks of the season. He continued his white-hot start to the year in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for 94 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor has rushed for 697 yards while scoring 11 all-purpose touchdowns on the year. He will look to keep it going at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The Titans have struggled against the run this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Taylor is in a smash spot and should be locked into all fantasy lineups as a top-three play at the running-back position.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games and will look to extend his streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. The 25-year-old has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Los Angeles, handling 39 touches over the last two games compared to Blake Corum's six. Williams has been efficient on the ground with 4.4 yards per carry and has also taken on a bigger receiving role with 10 catches and two receiving touchdowns over his last two games. The Jaguars rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, so we don't expect Williams to run into any challenges that he can't handle. He remains a high-end RB2 for Week 7.
