Javonte Williams Still Slightly Behind Melvin Gordon
3 years agoDenver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams scored the first touchdown of his NFL career last week, but he also lost a fumble in the red zone. Through three games, Williams has a 43.6 snap percentage compared to 54.5 percent for Melvin Gordon III. And a lot of Williams' snaps have come in garbage time against inferior competition. The 21-year-old has three fewer carries and one fewer target than Gordon, so this has been a near-even timeshare, with Gordon slightly ahead in the early going. The Broncos will have their toughest test yet in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens, but they've allowed a league-high five rushing TDs to RBs so far. As long as the two backs continue to split the workload almost evenly, they'll both be RB3/flex options in fantasy.
