Javonte Williams vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?

Javonte Williams and RJ Harvey are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Javonte Williams averaged 14.1 PPG across 16 games with the Dallas Cowboys, while RJ Harvey posted 10.8 PPG in 17 appearances for the Denver Broncos.

A 3.3-PPG gap gives Javonte Williams the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

RJ Harvey is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 47 targets into 356 yards, while Javonte Williams profiles as a more traditional rusher with 1201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats RJ Harvey carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

One scheduling note: Javonte Williams is off Week 7 and RJ Harvey 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.

The Bottom Line

Javonte Williams outscored RJ Harvey by 3.3 PPG in 2025 (14.1 to 10.8). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
