Who Should I Start? Michael Carter or Josh Williams

Monday, November 24, 10:18 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had five carries for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Carter also had three catches for 30 yards on three targets. The 26-year-old had his most efficient rushing game of the year in Sunday's matchup, gaining 5.6 yards per carry. Carter will need to continue to maximize each carry he gets in this pass-heavy offense to stay relevant in fantasy in his limited rushing role. Carter has also not seen double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. Fantasy managers should consider Carter a desperation flex option in deeper leagues heading into Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He'll fall to RB3 duties if Trey Benson (knee) returns from Injured Reserve.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Josh Williams has been suspended without pay for violating the NFL's Performance Enhancing Substance Policy, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Williams is eligible for reinstatement on December 16, which will come after Tampa Bay's Week 16 divisional matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Williams is an undrafted rookie out of LSU who has only appeared in three games this season, mostly as a special teamer. The 25-year-old has just eight offensive snaps in the three games, recording four carries for 11 yards in Tampa Bay's Week 8 blowout win over the Saints.
