Who Should I Start? Trayveon Williams or Jonathan Ward

Los Angeles Chargers running backs Amar Johnson and Trayveon Williams have been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The two backs will join the roster to serve as depth for Kimani Vidal. Neither player has taken offensive snaps this season, but that might change this weekend. Williams has at least been on the field, but solely playing on special teams. There's a chance they do see a few touches, but it shouldn't be enough to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats. Vidal is going to be the workhorse back, so those two were just brought up as depth.

The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran running back Jonathan Ward on Thursday, the team announced on X. After signing with the organization last offseason, Ward spent the 2024 campaign rotating between the active roster and the practice squad. He appeared in four contests, totaling five carries for 22 yards. The undrafted free agent in 2020 out of Central Michigan has spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, and Steelers during his five-year NFL career, compiling 91 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards with one total touchdown. The 27-year-old could find his way on an active roster for another team, but he'll likely have to make his mark on special teams.
