D'Andre Swift vs Javonte Williams: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. D'Andre Swift finished the 2025 season at 13.2 PPG over 16 games with the Chicago Bears, while Javonte Williams clocked in at 14.1 across 16 appearances for the Dallas Cowboys. A 0.9-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns; Javonte Williams posted 1201 and 11. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Both share a Week 7 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Javonte Williams at 14.1 PPG, 0.9 points per game above D'Andre Swift's 13.2. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
