Broncos' Javonte Williams: Productive on reduced volume
Javonte 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 Denver 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.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Quiet in Sunday's win
Javonte 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: Pair of touchdowns in win
Javonte Williams rushed 14 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in all three targets for 23 yards in the Denver Broncos' 33-10 win over the Saints on Thursday night.Williams put together a season-best effort in the lopsided win, recording his first two touchdowns of the campaign on eight- and five-yard rushes in the second and third quarters, respectively. His rushing yardage total was also a season high, and he extended his streak of games with multiple receptions to six. After a nightmarish start to the season that saw Williams net 52 rushing yards on 24 carries over the first three games, the fourth-year back has bounced back to average 5.1 yards per carry over the subsequent four contests. Williams will have a golden opportunity to extend his productive stretch of play when the Broncos host the Panthers in a Week 8 matchup on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Rough day on nine touches
Javonte Williams rushed six times for 23 yards while losing one fumble and caught three of six targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-16 defeat to the Chargers.Williams not only struggled to produce from a fantasy standpoint, he also coughed up Denver's only fumble in a one-score loss. The 24-year-old has been underwhelming as the Denver Broncos' starter through six games this season, averaging 3.6 yards per carry with no trips to the end zone. Williams doesn't inspire confidence as a fantasy play heading into Thursday's matchup against a stingy Saints defense.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Excellent as pass catcher
Javonte Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 61 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders. He added five receptions on six targets for 50 yards.Williams' longest gain on the ground went for 17 yards, but he gained at least four yards on seven of his 13 carries to turn in an efficient performance. He's shown flashes as a pass catcher in recent weeks, and that also continued Sunday as he ripped off long gains of 26 and 13 yards as a receiver. After a slow start to the campaign, Williams has at least 18 touches in three of five games, with this marking his first time surpassing 100 yards from scrimmage.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Big second half in road win
Javonte Williams ran for 77 yards on 16 carries against the Jets on Sunday, adding two receptions for three yards on three targets.It was mostly an encouraging game for Williams, though after running for just 21 yards in the first half it could have been markedly less productive if the game script had gone slightly differently. The Denver Broncos' defense was unexpectedly effective, repeatedly buying the offense more time to lean on the run game and slowly wear down the Jets' run defense. The Jets spent a lot of time on the field, and by the second half, the run defense had begun to wilt, allowing both Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin (nine carries for 46 yards) to break loose as the game went on. If the Broncos' defense continues to thrive it, could allow Denver to lean on the run game similarly in upcoming weeks, supporting the notion Williams might see a sizeable workload against Las Vegas in Week 5.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Minimal rushing production in win
Javonte Williams rushed five times for 12 yards and secured all four targets for 29 yards in the Denver Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Williams' rushing line underscores how running room was at a premium despite the fact the Buccaneers' front was operating without Vita Vea (knee). He also fumbled at Tampa Bay's 35-yard line late in the first half, a play that was reversed after Williams was initially ruled down by contact. The turnover would go on to lead to the Bucs' only touchdown, and Williams recorded only three touches the rest of the game while Tyler Badie took on an expanded role with effectiveness (nine carries, 70 yards). It remains to be seen what the backfield pecking order will be for a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets, but Williams now has gained just 52 yards on 24 carries over his first three games.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Effective as pass catcher
Javonte Williams rushed the ball 11 times for 17 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. He added five receptions on five targets for 48 yards.Williams operated as the clear lead back for Denver, but he found no room to run against the stout Steelers defense. He made up for that as a dump-off target for Bo Nix, with the highlights of his day coming on 14 and 13-yard receptions in the fourth quarter. Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin should both have substantial roles out of the backfield moving forward, though the offense's lack of effectiveness is likely to prevent big performances from either in the short term.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Garners nine touches in loss
Javonte Williams rushed eight times for 23 yards and caught one of two targets for no gain in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.Williams was out-touched by fellow running back Jaleel McLaughlin (15 touches for 24 yards) as neither back stood out against last year's 31st-ranked rushing defense. Williams should remain a significant part of the Denver Broncos' backfield committee as the team hunts for its first victory against the Steelers next Sunday.

Broncos' Javonte Williams: Receiving TD called back Sunday
Javonte Williams rushed three times for 17 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-2 preseason win over the Packers.Williams also had a would-be 14-yard touchdown catch on the opening drive wiped out by an illegal forward pass penalty on rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Denver's offense has moved the ball well with Nix under center in the preseason, which bodes well for Williams' outlook heading into the regular season. Williams has started the Denver Broncos' first two preseason games, but it remains to be seen if the starting running back will get any usage in next Sunday's preseason finale against the Cardinals.
