Should You Start or Sit Javonte Williams in Week 7?
From PFN Analyst Kyle Soppe
Williams may only have one finish better than RB25 on his résumé this season, but he’s earned 24 targets over the past month and is still atop Sean Payton’s running back depth chart.
This team appears committed to Bo Nix for 2024, and while that is a risk, there’s a world in which he improves down the stretch and the lead back in this offense offers weekly RB2 value. We saw the Saints get torched last week by anyone the Bucs wanted to hand the ball to (Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving combined for 217 yards and two touchdowns on the ground), the continuation of a key weakness in New Orleans and its third-worst rush defense by EPA this season.
Much like Rhamondre Stevenson (at JAX), Williams isn’t a fun click in an offense led by a rookie, but I think you could do worse; in a Flex situation, I don’t mind the touch floor that he offers over a boom-or-bust receiver.
