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 rookie first-round running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is not listed on the team's Week 13 injury report, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Jeanty injured his ankle late in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns, but it was nothing serious, and he'll be ready to play for a Week 13 date with the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. The 21-year-old from Boise State didn't find much room to run on the ground in Week 12 (17 carries for 50 yards), but he salvaged his fantasy day with a season-high eight receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown through the air. Jeanty has struggled to put up numbers on the ground in his first NFL season behind a bad offensive line, and things probably won't get any easier this weekend. But the volume alone will make Jeanty a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 in fantasy football. He had 11 carries for 43 yards and three catches for one yard in the previous meeting with the Chargers back on Sept. 15.
