Javonte Williams Underwhelms With His 21 Touches
1 year agoAs expected, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had little room to run in Week 12 against the stout Cleveland Browns defense in a 29-12 victory on Sunday. Williams led Denver's backfield with a commanding 18 carries for 65 yards and caught three of his six targets for six yards. The bad news: The 23-year-old continues to be inefficient on the ground and averaged 3.6 yards per carry. The good news: His three receptions and six targets both tied Courtland Sutton for the team lead through the air. His six targets were tied for a season-high. Volume hasn't been his problem -- he's seen 20-plus touches in three of the last four games -- but he needs to do more with those touches to be considered more than an RB3/flex for fantasy managers. Williams briefly left the contest with a neck injury, but he was able to return and should be good to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.
