Javonte Williams

Javonte Williams had nine rushes for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 11 win against the Falcons, adding four catches for 28 yards.

Williams took command of the Denver backfield a week after the team had seemingly turned to rookie Audric Estime. In Week 11, Williams scored the team’s lone rushing touchdown in a short-yardage scrum and was heavily involved in the passing offense. Estime had six carries and three receptions on the day for a total of 25 yards. Jaleel McLaughlin had four rushes for 19 yards. No one in the Broncos backfield is a candidate for a heavy workload, though Williams would seem to be the nominal lead back headed in Week 12 against the Raiders. He had 110 total yards in Week 5 against Vegas.
