Javonte Williams Facing Tough Matchup In Week 15

Javonte Williams Facing Tough Matchup In Week 15

11 months ago

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams is coming off one of his best performances of the year in the Week 14 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, gaining 66 rushing yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year on 17 carries while adding 25 receiving yards on three receptions. On volume alone as Denver's lead back -- he's had 20-plus touches in four of the last six games -- Williams has RB2 value to fantasy managers. However, an encore performance is going to be difficult this Saturday night in primetime against a Detroit Lions defense that has been strong against the run. Detroit's D has allowed the fifth-fewest half-PPR points per game (15.3) to opposing RBs on the year, including only eight rushing TDs, so it might be difficult for Williams to get going in this one and try to find rushing paydirt for the second straight week.
