Javonte Williams On The Week 15 Injury Report
3 years agoDenver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) was listed on the Week 15 injury report after getting in a limited practice session. Melvin Gordon (hip, thumb) was also limited, but both backs are expected to be available for the Week 15 game this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. After Williams exploded for well over 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Week 13 with Gordon inactive, the Broncos went back to a backfield timeshare between the two in the Week 14 win over the Detroit Lions. Gordon out-touched Williams 24-17, while both backs found the end zone twice. Cincy will be much tougher to run on -- they allow the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game (93.1) -- and Williams should continue to be the 1B to Gordon's 1A. Still, Williams' big-play upside and tackle-breaking abilities keep him in the RB2 range in fantasy.
