Javonte Williams Remains In Timeshare With Melvin Gordon
3 years agoDenver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams combined with Melvin Gordon III for 159 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Unfortunately for Williams, Gordon had the better day with 101 rushing yards, including a 70-yard touchdown. Williams carried the ball 14 times (three more times than Gordon) and finished with 45 yards (3.21 yards per attempt). The 21-year-old rookie has more long-term upside, but for now, he'll be more of an RB3/flex for fantasy managers. It'll be tough to predict on a weekly basis which one of Gordon or Williams will be more productive. The good news is that they're both facing a Jaguars defense this Sunday that allowed the third-most fantasy points to RBs in Week 1 against the Texans.
