Who Should I Start? Jonathan Williams or Leonard Fournette

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.

The Cincinnati Bengals are working out veteran free-agent running back Leonard Fournette on Monday. The Bengals apparently are considering adding to their RB room after Zack Moss (neck) suffered a season-ending injury in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, despite trading for Khalil Herbert at the deadline last Tuesday. Chase Brown should operate as the team's unquestioned lead back moving forward, with Trayveon Williams as the RB3 behind Brown and Herbert. If the Bengals were to add Fournette, he'd almost certainly start on the practice squad before potentially working his way onto the active 53-man roster as additional RB depth. The 29-year-old veteran played in two games with the Bills in 2023 and has 12 carries for 40 yards on the ground. There's no guarantee that Lenny would find a significant role in Cincy if he were to be signed.
