Javonte Williams Week 4 Outlook - Broncos at Jets

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 26th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week Williams was third in line for rushing work with only 24% of the rushing play snaps while he saw a 60% snap share on passing plays. Williams also remained the team's preferred red zone back with a 73% snap rate inside the 20. Overall he played 51% of the snaps with nine touches and 41 total yards. Williams has been an inefficient rusher again this season. He has yet to break an explosive run and has only 1.83 yards after contact per attempt (42nd out of 50 qualifying backs) although I will also say that the Denver offensive line isn't doing any of these backs any favors. The Jets are a middle of the road matchup on the ground allowing the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, ranking 18th in stuff rate, and allowing the second-highest yards after contact per attempt. Williams is an uninspiring flex play.
