According to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool, David Montgomery is in for a decent outing as the second-string running back of the Detroit Lions. He is projected to earn 49.8 rushing yards with a 50% chance of a touchdown. The back is also expected to earn about two catches for 15.5 yards.

Javonte Williams is in for a premier day, according to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool. Williams is projected to rush for 63.2 yards with a 20% chance of a touchdown. He is also expected to get some work in the receiving game as well, with about four catches for 25 yards with a 10% chance of a touchdown.

Williams is set to have an RB2-level day with low-level RB1 upside. Put simply, he should be on the field in most situations, but is he worth starting over David Montgomery? Let's get to the bottom of it.

Williams vs Montgomery - Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start

Ultimately, according to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool, David Montgomery is projected to earn fewer points than Javonte Williams. As such, start Williams and don't look back.

Williams is projected to earn 15.2 points, 4.5 points more than Montgomery. The reason for this is clear-cut. Williams is the starting running back of the Dallas Cowboys, while Montgomery is the second-string running back of the Detroit Lions.

While Montgomery has received enough carries to make Jahmyr Gibbs managers flustered, it isn't likely to be enough to overtake the starting running back of the Cowboys. With Amon-Ra St. Brown likely to either be unhealthy or unavailable for the contest, the Cowboys have every reason to stack the box, hurting Montgomery in the process.
