ESPN Fantasy Football on Javonte Williams
From the article
Although Williams' efficiency may not be as good as usual, his strong play and heavy usage -- especially near the goal line -- is enough to keep him in the fringe-RB1 mix.
STACKED’s take
Williams stays fringe-RB1 despite tough 49ers run defense; league-high red-zone carries.
Williams has been outstanding this season but expectations will need to be lowered against a 49ers defense that has been elite against the run, allowing 3.5 yards per carry (third lowest) and surrendering a league-low two RB rushing scores. Williams has done most of his damage on the ground, ranking in the top 10 among backs in both carries and rushing yards, and second in rush TDs (nine) thanks to a league-high 18 carries inside the 5-yard line. He paces the entire NFL in expected TDs (11.4) and sits just inside the top 15 backs in both targets and receptions. Although his efficiency may not be as good as usual, his strong play and heavy usage—especially near the goal line—is enough to keep him in the fringe-RB1 mix.
