ANALYSIS: During the Denver Broncos' first win of the year on Sunday, starting running back Javonte Williams (hip) suffered a hip flexor injury, and his status for next week's game is in jeopardy. While there are reports that Williams might not miss any time, he's fresh off a serious knee injury, and the Broncos are likely going to be cautious with the young back.

In the event Williams cannot go next week, Samaje Perine is likely in line to take over most of the running back duties. He received 56% of the snaps following Williams' exit and fared pretty well as a fill-in for Joe Mixon a year ago. In three games with 10 or more carries, Perine scored at least 19 points each, finishing as a top 10 back every week.
He's already seen a decent amount of work in the passing game and should be the go-to red zone back thanks to his size. Although the Broncos have been more pass-heavy so far this year, Perine is likely to be featured enough to be a solid flex option. With the injury history of Williams, Perine is a good addition and should be a great injury fill-in for starts where he gets a full workload.
