BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: It has been a disappointing start to the season for Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams. Williams is averaging just 2.17 yards per carry through the first three weeks while failing to score in double figures in PPR formats in two of three games. As a result, it'll be hard to trust him in fantasy moving forward.
Even though the Jets have allowed over 4.54 yards per carry to opposing running backs this season, Williams might not see enough volume this week to be a strong flex play. Last week, the 24-year-old played only 51% of the offensive snaps and totaled nine touches. Those nine touches were the same amount Tyler Badie saw in Week 3.
And Jaleel McLaughlin with the rushing touchdown.
Javonte Williams still has just 8 carries inside the 5-yard line since the start of 2023, the 7th fewest of the 30 running backs with 200 or more carries.pic.twitter.com/Sl4oMSc4Nu https://t.co/h2HN10g8LQ

As a result, Williams should only be started in dire situations in 12-plus team leagues this weekend. He hasn't been efficient on the ground this year, and the Broncos could be trailing for most of this game.
