Who Should I Start? Jonathan Williams or Jeremy McNichols

Friday, December 22, 1:08 PM

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams (concussion) reverted to the practice squad ahead of Week 16 versus the New York Jets. The 29-year-old suffered the injury last Sunday when he played a season-high 22 percent of offensive snaps but registered just one carry. With both Williams and Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) unavailable, the Commanders may enter this week's contest with just two healthy running backs, Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols continues to play a key role on pass downs, but it hasn't translated to much fantasy production. He had two carries for five yards and added three catches (four targets) for 30 yards last week against the Bears. It was his most productive game as a receiver, but he hasn't had more than four carries in a game all season. With third-year Chris Rodriguez Jr. now off the injury report, he should handle more carries in Week 7 after playing only one snap in Week 6. It's an ideal matchup against a Dallas defense that has allowed the fourth most PPR points per game to opposing running backs, but McNichols hasn't scored more than 6.5 PPR points since Week 3 against the Raiders when he broke off a 60-yard touchdown. He's only an option in deeper leagues for Week 7.
