Javonte Williams Week 7 Outlook - Broncos at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 17th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

The New Orleans Saints' run defense has begun to crumble, which could allow Williams to post his best-rushing line of the season. Williams is the RB37 this season in fantasy, and sadly, he hasn't looked much better this season than he did last year. He has averaged 13.1 touches and 59.3 total yards. Among 61 qualifying backs, Williams ranks 39th in explosive run rate and 42nd in yards after contact per attempt. New Orleans has been allowing backs to run all over them, giving up the 13th-highest explosive run rate and rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest rushing success rate, and the third-highest missed tackle rate.
