From the episode

Javante was sort of tailing off down the stretch last year. So I saw a little bit of a downturn with Javante last year. He was kind of a zero in the passing game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Fitzmaurice is skeptical of Williams due to his late-season efficiency decline last year.

Pat Fitzmaurice does not have Williams as an RB1 for Week 1, noting a significant downturn in efficiency and usage following the team's Week 10 bye last season. He highlights that Williams' yards per carry dropped from 5.2 to 4.3 and his touchdown production slowed significantly, leading to skepticism about his overall outlook.
