From the episode

Javante Williams... he just was not a good receiver last year. He had 0.4 yards per route run. 17 running backs ranked outside the top 12... had less than a 0.6 yards per route run rate... Only one of them outperform expectation by two or more PPR points per game... people are drafting both of those players simply because they're projected to see a lot of volume... I think that Williams is a safe bet to be, to, to match ADP. I just don't think he's an easy bet to say he's going to be a top 10 running back in fantasy football.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Williams had 0.4 yards per route run last year. Of 17 RBs ranked 13-36 with sub-0.6 yards per route run since 2014 (50+ routes), only one outperformed expectations by 2+ PPR points. The analyst believes Williams is being drafted purely for projected volume, not talent, and expects him to match ADP at best, not reach top-10 RB status.
