FantasyPros Articles on Javonte Williams
From the article
If Williams can post production as he did over the first half of the 2025 season for an entire year, he is a locked-in top-10 back with top-5 upside. At his floor, he looks like a low-end RB1 or top 15 fantasy back.
STACKED’s take
Williams' elite yards-after-contact and first-half production support top-10 RB upside.
Williams finished 2025 as the RB11 in fantasy points per game with 1,201 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns, crushing expectations. He ranked 16th in explosive run rate and third in yards after contact per attempt among 49 qualifying backs. His season split into two halves: Weeks 1-8 he averaged 18.5 touches, 90.7 total yards, and scored nine touchdowns as the RB8 in PPG; Weeks 9-17 he averaged 17.4 touches, 76.5 total yards, and scored only four touchdowns as the RB25 in PPG. The drop was driven by variance in touchdown production, not efficiency decline. In Weeks 1-8, he posted a 4.8% explosive run rate, 11% missed-tackle rate, and 3.52 yards after contact per attempt; in Weeks 9-17, he improved to 5.5% explosive run rate and 13% missed-tackle rate, though yards after contact dipped to 2.33. If Williams can sustain first-half production for an entire year, he is a locked-in top-10 back with top-5 upside; at his floor, he looks like a low-end RB1 or top-15 fantasy back.
