Hayden Winks ranks Javonte Williams 29th overall and calls him a major target at RB despite going in the fourth round; he's the biggest winner among free agent RBs from last year, dominating touches and producing in a major way after being left for dead by injuries in Denver. Winks argues Williams is a layup at his cost because: (1) he's the goal-line back with no true threat behind him (Jayden Blue is not an early-down guy and won't steal goal-line work); (2) he was excellent at goal-line scoring (13 TDs last year); (3) the Broncos' offense is too good and plays fast, expected to score a lot of points, which drags him along; (4) he's good in pass protection and can catch checkdowns; (5) the team was second in neutral pace last season. His inefficiency in the pass game last year (52 receptions in 2024, one of the least efficient pass-game targets) didn't matter because the offense's pace and scoring volume compensate. Winks ranks him ahead of the Breece Hall/Josh Jacobs tier and expects him to be a classic ADP faller in sharper leagues despite 13 TDs and 52 receptions in 2024, citing high floor due to strong Denver offense and run-game savant Kellen Moore Adams.

clearly the biggest winner over the free agent running backs last year was Javonte Williams...he not only dominated touches, but he produced in a major way and he earned a contract and now we're back. You view Javonte Williams as one of your major targets this year at the running back position... I got uh Javonte 29th... I have him one spot ahead of Kyren looking at my rankings. I think with Javonte, I have him ahead of kind of that entire tier, the Breece Hall, Josh Jacobs tier... I think his floor is really high.
