Bottom Line

Williams sports a wide range of outcomes in 2024.

If he can bounce back from an underwhelming 2023 season that might have been impacted by a serious 2022 knee injury, he should maintain lead duties in a Sean Payton-led offense that’s consistently produced strong fantasy scorers at RB.

But if Williams remains inefficient, he could find himself in a two or even three-RB committee and be tough to trust as a weekly fantasy starter.

He’s worth gambling on at RB3-level prices. Any more expensive than that and he becomes a risky pick.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Williams ran for 774 yards and three TDs across 16 games last year, adding 47 catches for 228 yards and two TDs.
  • He suffered a hip injury early in Week 4 and missed Week 5.
  • Williams’ scoring averages in 15 healthy games ranked:
    • 31st among RBs in PPR points
    • 33rd in half-PPR
    • 35th in non-PRR
  • Williams’ playing time, volume, and production climbed from Week 7 on. Over that stretch, he averaged 15.4 carries and 3.9 targets per game and scored as the:
    • RB18 in PPR points
    • RB23 in non-PPR
  • Williams was one of the least effective runners in the NFL last year. Among 49 RBs with 90+ carries, he ranked:
    • 41st in yards per carry
    • 42nd in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
    • 36th in yards after contact per attempt
    • 38th in Pro Football Focus Elusive Rating
    • 45th in PFF rushing grade
  • He was better as a receiver. Although he averaged just 4.9 yards per catch, Williams caught 81% of his 58 targets and ranked 10th among 43 qualifying RBs in yards per route.
  • It’s certainly worth considering that Williams was returning last year from a nasty injury. He tore the ACL, LCL, and posterior lateral corner in his right knee on October 2, 2022. Williams was cleared for the start of training camp last summer, but it’s fair to wonder if the knee was still a factor throughout the season.
  • Williams was more effective in a healthy 2021 rookie season. Among 52 RBs with 90+ carries, he ranked:
    • 19th in yards per carry
    • 21st in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt
    • 7th in yards after contact per attempt
    • 5th in Pro Football Focus Elusive Rating
    • 21st in PFF rushing grade

What to Expect in 2024

  • Williams will likely need to be better – at least returning to his rookie-year form – in order to match last year’s volume.
  • HC Sean Payton has a long history of deploying two- and even three-RB committees. The Broncos return RBs Jaleel McLaughlin and Samaje Perine and added rookie RBs Audric Estime and Blake Watson.
  • That said, Payton’s offense has been good for RB fantasy production.
    • His lead back has topped 15.5 touches per game in 13 of 16 seasons, averaging 17.3 touches per game.
    • Payton produced a top-22 RB in PPR points per game in each of his first 15 seasons.
    • Although that streak was snapped last year (Williams finished 34th in PPR points per game), the Broncos as a team ranked sixth in total RB PPR points. That was largely fueled by 131 RB catches – 15 more than any other team.
  • The 2023 Broncos ranked:
    • 9th in run rate
    • 18th in carries
    • 21st in RB carries
    • 1st in RB catches
  • With rookie QB Bo Nix likely under center and an underwhelming group of WRs and TEs, the Broncos figure to remain a run-leaning offense in 2024. And the RBs should again be heavily involved in the passing game.
  • The 2023 Broncos ranked:
    • 4th in Pro Football Focus run-blocking grade
    • 14th in Adjusted Lined Yards
  • They return four of five starters on the offensive line this year, with C Lloyd Cushenberry departing for Tennessee in free agency. He ranked 13th among 32 qualifying Cs in PFF’s 2023 run-blocking grades. It’s unclear who will replace Cushenberry, but this still projects to be an above-average O-line in 2024.

Audric Estime, RB DEN

1:49pm EST 11/4/24

Will Audric Estime Actually See More Work Going Forward?

Broncos HC Sean Payton said Monday that RB Audric Estime will get more work going forward. We got a similar report from CBS' Tracy Wolfson on Sunday morning. Estime finished the loss to the Ravens with five carries -- and those all came in the fourth quarter.

View Full Story »

CBS' Tracy Wolfson reports that Broncos RB Audric Estime is expected to be more involved in today's game vs. the Ravens. The rookie has just 10 carries across four games this season, so "more involved" is a low bar to clear. Estime isn't a viable Week 9 fantasy play. But this report is another reason to shy away from RB Javonte Williams today against Baltimore's eighth-ranked RB defense.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams ran 14 times for 88 yards and two TDs in Thursday night's win over the Saints. He found more running room than he did in any of his previous six games this season and consistently added extra yards with his tackle-breaking ability. Per Pro Football Focus, Williams averaged 3.6 yards after contact per attempt. He tacked on 23 more yards on three receptions to go over 110 total yards on the night.

Broncos RB Tyler Badie (back) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. We’ll see if rookie RB Blake Watson makes his debut, but RBs Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin figure to handle the vast majority of the backfield work.

Dynasty Write-up
Williams entered 2022 with enormous expectations. But only four games in, he suffered an ACL/LCL tear in his right knee. He was rarely unleashed in Year 3 under new HC Sean Payton. Set for a full, healthy offseason in 2024, we remain optimistic on Williams' short-term prospects.
