Javonte Williams fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 5 (2024). Should you start or sit Javonte Williams for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ TeamLeagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Backend RB2/Flex Play
ANALYSIS: Williams has struggled so far in 2024. He’s only averaging 3.2 yards per carry and has yet to find the endzone. However, he is coming off his best game of the season this past week during an upset victory over the New York Jets. Williams carried the rock 16 times for 77 yards.
Look at the seal from Palcewski, Quinn working to the second level, and the finish from Javonte Williams.

That’s not the most impressive stat line, but it might be exactly what Williams needed to get rolling. Denver has a home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. It’s a good draw for the Broncos' rushing offense, as the Raiders allow the ninth-most rushing yards per game and surrender the eighth-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs.
This is a good spot for Denver to rely heavily on their ground game to protect rookie quarterback Bo Nix. That should mean a healthy dose of Williams, and this is a matchup where he should find success.
Gamers can feel comfortable starting Williams as a flex play or an RB2 in a pinch. He could improve upon last week’s performance and might even find paydirt for the first time this year.
