Javonte Williams Is Fine, Won't Be Limited Sunday
3 years agoDespite drawing a questionable tag for Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) is "fine" and won't have any limitations on Sunday, according to head coach Vic Fangio. If not for Melvin Gordon's presence in this backfield, the impressive rookie would have RB1 upside each and every week. Gordon is also questionable with hip and thumb injuries, but he's expected to play as well and should continue his role as the 1A to Williams' 1B in Denver's backfield. Because of the Broncos run-first offensive identity, both Williams and Gordon have RB2 value, albeit against a Bengals rush defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game this year. Both Williams and Gordon found the end zone twice each in the easy Week 14 win over the Detroit Lions.
