Javonte Williams vs Jawhar Jordan: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two running backs. Javonte Williams (Dallas Cowboys) averaged 14.1 PPG over 16 games in 2025, outscoring Jawhar Jordan (Houston Texans, 6.6 PPG) by 7.5 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
Javonte Williams carries a 7.5-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Javonte Williams ran for 1201 yards and 11 touchdowns; Jawhar Jordan posted 193 and undefined. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
One scheduling note: Javonte Williams is off Week 7 and Jawhar Jordan Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
