Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Ashton Jeanty

Saturday, November 22, 3:59 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been quite productive lately, racking up impressive efficiency and touchdown numbers. Over his last three games, he has four total touchdowns and is averaging a whopping 5.5 yards per carry. He'll have an opportunity to build on this streak during Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, with a large chunk of that productivity coming in the passing game. Tampa Bay has also surrendered the most receiving yards to running backs this season. While Williams is more of a rusher than receiver, he could capitalize on a favorable opportunity to contribute in the receiving game, all while maintaining strong efficiency and scoring tendencies on the ground. He enters this week as the overall RB11 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday that the ankle injury that rookie first-round running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) picked up late in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns isn't severe, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Jeanty should have a chance to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on the 21-year-old's practice status this week. Jeanty struggled on the ground yet again in Week 12 against a strong Browns defense, but he still managed to go over 100 scrimmage yards and scored a touchdown on 25 touches. If healthy, Jeanty will continue to be the Raiders' clear RB1, but his fantasy upside is limited behind a bad offensive line in an offense that is averaging just 15 points per game, which is tied for last in the NFL. Raheem Mostert, Zamir White, and Dylan Laube could share backfield touches if Jeanty were to miss time.
