Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Javonte Williams

Friday, November 22, 10:36 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 21 of his 28 pass attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown in a 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He added 10 rushing yards on three carries but lost a fumble. Although Wilson completed his first 11 passes and made some impressive deep throws, he struggled to get the ball into the end zone for a second consecutive week. Pittsburgh's first touchdown, a 3-yard run by Jaylen Warren, came in the fourth quarter with Justin Fields in at quarterback near the goal line. The Steelers experimented with Fields throughout the contest, but it was Wilson who managed to hit Calvin Austin III for a 23-yard score that gave the team a 19-18 lead with just over six minutes remaining. Wilson is now 4-1 as a starter this season and will hope to get back on track in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

After seeing only one carry in the Week 10 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams took over the backfield in the 38-6 blowout victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11. Williams finished with a team-high nine carries for 59 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches on five targets for 28 yards. Fantasy managers may have prematurely dropped Williams after his dud last week, but we can't completely blame you after the Broncos continually said rookie Audric Estime was in line for more work. We cannot write Williams off just yet in 2024, but Estime will continue to be involved in Denver's backfield after seeing nine touches for 25 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old has 80-plus scrimmage yards in five of his last eight games and will be back on the RB3/flex radar in a plus Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
