Javonte Williams Flops In Week 15

Javonte Williams Flops In Week 15

11 months ago

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams failed to deliver for fantasy managers that started him in Week 15 in a tough matchup against the Detroit Lions, as he finished with 12 carries for only 27 yards (2.3 yards per carry), adding two catches on two targets for a loss of seven yards. Backup Samaje Perine outgained Williams on the ground (37 yards) on half the carries in the 42-17 blowout loss on Saturday night. This was always going to be a tough game for Williams against a Detroit defense that hasn't allowed much to RBs in 2023, but this performance was worse than expected. It was especially disappointing to his fantasy managers after the 23-year-old had his first rushing TD of the year in Week 14's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Williams has mostly underwhelmed in 2023, but he'll have a nice bounce-back matchup on Christmas Eve in Week 16 against the New England Patriots.
