Michael Carter Vs Javonte Williams

One of the most interesting stories this offseason is the fact that both of North Carolina’s impressive RBs have declared and will be entering the NFL in 2021.

But how do they matchup against each other? Let’s take a look...

“With such similar college production they must be neck and neck in dynasty ADP, right?”

Well... no.

Williams is most likely a top 3 pick amongst RBs (ADP 1.06 (pick - 6) via DLF)

Carter on the other hand is currently going in the 2nd round (ADP 2.09 (pick - 21) via DLF)
“Yeah but that’s because Williams is your much more prototypical RB size and frame”

True, but size isn’t everything (or so I’ve been told...)

One of the RB greats:
Barry Sanders - 5’8” 200lbs
3062/15269/99

The 1st RB selected last season:
Clyde Edwards-Helaire - 5’7” 209lbs
• Conclusion •

I honestly believe both these UNC backs can be awesome in the NFL, but also both awesome fantasy assets.

Their styles of play may differ but that doesn’t mean they both can’t succeed.

However, at perceived value I’m more than happy to grab Carter everywhere!
