Williams' second-half fade was TD-driven; per-touch efficiency metrics remained solid.

Javonte Williams showed a tale of two halves in 2025: Weeks 1-8 he averaged 18.5 touches, 90.7 total yards, and 9 TDs (RB8 PPG); Weeks 9-17 he averaged 17.4 touches, 76.5 total yards, and 4 TDs (RB25 PPG). The drop was primarily driven by touchdown variance rather than efficiency decline. His yards-after-contact-per-attempt improved from 3.52 (Weeks 1-8) to 2.33 (Weeks 9-17), though his explosive run rate rose from 4.8% to 5.5% and missed-tackle rate increased from 11% to 13%.
