• Broncos' Javonte Williams: RBs to Sit

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Williams actually did better than expected in Week 9 at Baltimore with 12 carries for 42 yards and two catches for 42 yards on three targets, and he scored 10.4 PPR points. But he might regress in this matchup since the Chiefs are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Jordan Mason's 58 rushing yards and 69 total yards in Week 7 are the most yards Kansas City has yielded to a running back this season, and only three running backs have scored touchdowns against the Chiefs. Sean Payton said Audric Estime could start getting more work for the Broncos, and that's also a potential problem for Williams. At best, consider Williams just a flex option in most leagues for Week 10.

• Broncos' Javonte Williams: Productive on reduced volume

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams carried the ball 12 times for 42 yards and caught two of three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens. It was only the second time in the last six games that Williams failed to get at least 17 touches, but the fourth-year RB salvaged his day with a 34-yard reception that accounted for the longest gain of the contest for the Broncos. Williams has reached 80 scrimmage yards in four of those last six games, but he could have a hard time getting there in Week 10 against a stingy Kansas City run defense.

  Williams blew his chance for a big game in Week 8 against Carolina when he had 17 carries for 44 yards and four catches for 8 yards on five targets. That was one of the best matchups he'll have all season, and he scored just 9.2 PPR points. Williams has only scored a touchdown in one game this season, and I wonder if Sean Payton will start giving more work to Jaleel McLaughlin or even Audric Estime soon. For Week 9, Williams is just a flex option at best at Baltimore. The Ravens are No. 7 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to running backs, and it's hard to trust Williams in a tough matchup when he flopped in an easy one.

• Broncos' Javonte Williams: Quiet in Sunday's win

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams carried the ball 17 times for 44 yards and caught four of five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers. While the 21 touches were a season high, it still was a disappointing showing for Williams against a Carolina defense that has been very generous on the ground this year. Jaleel McLaughlin wound up leading Denver with 47 yards on only eight totes, and he added a receiving TD as well, suggesting Williams' grip on the top job in the backfield may not be as secure as it seemed. Both backs will face a tough matchup Week 9 against the Ravens.

• Broncos' Javonte Williams: RBs to Start

  Williams picked a great time to have a good game in Week 7 at New Orleans when he scored 26.1 PPR points, and now Fantasy managers can trust him heading into Week 8 against the Panthers. Carolina is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and 11 running backs have scored at least 12.1 PPR points against the Panthers this season. I like Williams as a borderline starter in all leagues, and Jaleel McLaughlin can be used as a flex given this matchup.
