Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Javonte Williams

Thursday, December 25, 9:06 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is off the injury report and is good to go on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Jacobs was limited all three days of practice this week with a nagging knee injury he suffered in Week 11 against the New York Giants. He played just 40% of snaps in last week's stunning loss to the Chicago Bears, while Emmanuel Wilson played 47%. Jacobs faces a Baltimore Ravens defense that has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to running backs this season. With the Packers firmly clinched in the postseason, there's a possibility Jacobs could be limited again in Week 17. However, fantasy managers can still trust him in starting lineups for fantasy championships this week.

According to Tommy Yarrish of the team, Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's road matchup with their division-rival Washington Commanders. Williams exited Christmas Day's contest in the first half after picking up a shoulder injury. Before leaving, he'd racked up 54 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, failing to bring in either of his targets. With the University of North Carolina product on the sideline, fantasy managers can expect backfield mates Malik Davis and Hunter Leupke to pick up extra snaps in his stead. As it stands, Davis figures to get most of the work, considering he's primarily played behind Williams over the previous few weeks.
