Who Should I Start? Melvin Gordon or Jamaal Williams

Friday, January 19, 6:58 PM

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed running back Melvin Gordon III to their practice squad on Friday and also elevated wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Josh Ross from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster for Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans. The Ravens waived Gordon earlier this week to make room for Dalvin Cook on the active, but he's now back in Baltimore as extra RB depth. Cook will serve as the No. 3 back behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill this weekend, while Gordon will most likely be a healthy scratch. Chisena, 26, was cut from the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad just under two weeks ago and now will give Baltimore extra receiver depth for the Divisional Round.

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams was sidelined for the three games preceding the team's Week 12 bye due to a groin injury. On the positive side, Williams was able to practice in full on Friday after logging two limited sessions in the runup Week 13's matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are allowing a generous 4.59 yards per carry to opposing running backs but the bulk of that work is expected to go to Alvin Kamara or tight end Taysom Hill, who took on the backup running back role during Williams' absence. Before the injury, Williams was seldom used and when he was given the ball he was largely ineffective. Through his eight active games, he has 32 carries for 124 yards and one touchdown. Williams can safely be left on the waiver wire in Week 13.
