Who Should I Start? Kyren Williams or Tyjae Spears

Sunday, November 9, 9:48 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has seen a reduced role in the backfield this season. Despite that, Williams continues to find ways to succeed, which he did once again on Sunday. Williams rushed 14 times for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. He has now scored three touchdowns over his last two games. The biggest downside is that Williams continues to split up the backfield duties with Blake Corum. The Rams might need to rely on Williams more heavily next weekend in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Seattle Seahawks.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will have a tough matchup as his team returns from its bye week against the Texans, but he's worth a look from the waiver wire since he has been working in such a prominent role in the Titans' backfield. Spears missed the first four weeks of the season, but he played between 40% and 60% of the team's snaps in each of the last four weeks. In his five games, he has 30 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown, while adding 13 catches for 96 more yards. He has at least three catches in each of the last four weeks and should be fully healthy coming down the stretch for the Titans. The offense has struggled under Cam Ward, but as the rookie finds his way, Spears could be an interesting late-season addition. He has some favorable RB matchups ahead with the Jaguars, 49ers, and Saints remaining on his schedule down the road.
