Who Should I Start? Tony Pollard or Javonte Williams

Sunday, September 24, 9:11 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard was heavily involved once again in a Week 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Pollard ran the ball 23 times, gaining 122 yards. He was unable to find the end zone, but he did break off a long run of 31 yards. Pollard wasn't a factor in the passing game, as he turned three targets into three catches for a total of negative one yard. While fantasy managers would have loved for Pollard to find the end zone, a 100-yard game usually doesn't hurt. He'll be an RB1 option once again in Week 4 when the Cowboys take on the New England Patriots.

The Denver Broncos couldn't really lean on their ground game after falling down big to the Miami Dolphins early in Week 3 on Sunday in a record-breaking 70-20 loss. Running back Javonte Williams did lead the backfield yet again with 11 carries, but he produced only 42 yards (3.8 yards per carry) on those 11 rushing attempts. He caught two of his three targets through the air for an additional 23 yards. The 23-year-old is still finding his footing in 2023 after tearing his ACL and LCL in Week 4 of last season against the Las Vegas Raiders, but the good news is that neither Samaje Perine or rookie Jaleel McLaughlin have really threatened Williams' workload early in the year as the Broncos ease him in. A Week 4 matchup against the 0-3 Chicago Bears could be a prime opportunity for Williams to be leaned on heavily next week.
