Who Should I Start? Mike Boone or Trayveon Williams

Monday, December 18, 6:32 PM

The Houston Texans waived running back Mike Boone on Monday and added defensive tackle Teair Tart off waivers from the Tennessee Titans in a corresponding move, according to a source. In nine games with Houston this year, Boone only saw five rushing attempts for 23 yards and caught seven of nine targets for 40 yards in the passing game for the Texans. He had not been on the active game-day roster since Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. Dare Ogunbowale remains the team's No. 3 RB behind Devin Singletary and second-year man Dameon Pierce. Tart missed Week 15 with the Titans due to personal reasons and will now operate as interior defensive line depth for the Texans.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams (ankle) is almost ready to return from the right-ankle injury that he suffered 15 days ago, and he expects to return to training camp practice this week. Williams was in a walking boot after his injury but is now out of it and should return to the field soon, which will give him enough time to work his way into shape for Week 1 of the regular season. When healthy, the 25-year-old will compete with Chris Evans and rookie Chase Brown for the backup gig behind starter Joe Mixon in 2023. Williams had only six carries and two catches in 2022, so it's probably going to take an injury or two for him worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues.
