Javonte Williams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams found the end zone on the ground for the second time in the last three weeks, but it came with minimal production in the 41-32 Monday night win over the visiting Cleveland Browns. In addition to the touchdown plunge at the goal line, Williams had only four carries for one yard and caught one of his two targets for just three yards. The story for the 24-year-old was similar to last week's win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, when he had 10 touches that netted four total yards. The five total touches were his second-fewest of the season in a night when both offenses seemingly couldn't be stopped. Additionally, teammate Jaleel McLaughlin led Denver's backfield for a second straight week. Williams continues to be inefficient when he touches the ball and cannot be trusted as much of an RB3/flex coming out of their Week 14 bye to face the Colts in Week 15.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams hasn't rewarded his fantasy managers too many times during the 2024 season, which makes him a pretty shaky RB3/flex for the upcoming Monday night matchup against the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 13. The 24-year-old has not looked explosive much this year -- he's averaging only 3.7 yards per carry -- and has posted double-digit half-PPR points in only three of his 12 games. Williams has given fantasy managers under 2.0 half-PPR points in two of the last three weeks. If that wasn't bad enough, Denver's backfield is slowly evolving into a three-man committee that also includes Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime. The Browns defense is vulnerable on the ground (130.6 rushing yards allowed per game), but they've surrendered the eight-fewest half-PPR points per game to RBs as well. Williams is going to have to be efficient on limited touches.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had a disaster of a performance in the 29-19 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday a week after taking over lead-back duties in Denver's backfield. Williams had a team-high eight carries but produced minus-two yards while catching two of four targets for just six yards. In a great matchup against a banged-up and floundering Raiders defense, the 24-year-old fell flat and has quickly become an avoidable RB3/flex in a Broncos backfield that appears to be playing musical chairs in a three-man committee that also involves Jaleel McLaughlin, who had a team-high 44 rushing yards, and rookie Audric Estime. He has now had single-digit carries in each of the last three games and figures to continue to share the load with McLaughlin and Estime in Week 13 versus the Cleveland Browns.

After being dropped by many fantasy managers following Week 10, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams is firmly back in the RB3/flex mix for an upcoming matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 12. Williams had only three touches and saw rookie Audric Estime take over the backfield in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but Williams returned to lead-back duties in last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, carrying the ball nine times for 59 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 28 yards. Estime isn't going away, but the 24-year-old Williams' demise was premature. As long as he can be efficient, Williams could produce nicely as an RB3/flex this weekend against a banged-up Raiders defense that has been a top-10 matchup in fantasy this year for opposing RBs.

After seeing only one carry in the Week 10 loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams took over the backfield in the 38-6 blowout victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11. Williams finished with a team-high nine carries for 59 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches on five targets for 28 yards. Fantasy managers may have prematurely dropped Williams after his dud last week, but we can't completely blame you after the Broncos continually said rookie Audric Estime was in line for more work. We cannot write Williams off just yet in 2024, but Estime will continue to be involved in Denver's backfield after seeing nine touches for 25 scrimmage yards. The 24-year-old has 80-plus scrimmage yards in five of his last eight games and will be back on the RB3/flex radar in a plus Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
