Who Should I Start? Jonathan Williams or Zack Moss

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.

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, the Bengals and free-agent running back Zack Moss agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal. Cincinnati released Joe Mixon on Monday night, so it didn't take the team long to fill the void in the backfield. Moss is coming off his best year since being drafted in 2020, showcasing his talents while filling in for the oft-injured Jonathan Taylor. In 14 regular season appearances, he finished with 794 yards off 183 touches to the tune of 4.3 yards per carry. The 26-year-old also caught 27 passes for 192 yards while totaling seven touchdowns (five rushing, two receiving). It's reasonable to assume Moss will get the bulk of the work in Cincinnati. But the Bengals have a few up-and-coming options, notably Chase Brown, who could compete for routine snaps heading into the 2024-25 campaign. That said, Moss should benefit from playing alongside Joe Burrow (wrist), Ja'Marr Chase, and potentially Tee Higgins, assuming he is the No.1 option on the depth chart by the end of training camp.
