Broncos RB Javonte Williams out for season

Broncos RB Javonte Williams suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders. His season is over.

Related Players: Melvin Gordon, Mike Boone

Fantasy Impact:

A devastating end to what was shaping up to be a positive sophomore season for Williams. The Broncos were all but willing to bench Gordon, possibly for the entirety of the game, after his fourth lost fumble of the season turned into a 68-yard return for a defensive touchdown in the second quarter. It was Gordon's first touch of the game, and he was not the team's first choice to replace Williams directly after the injury, as Mike Boone out-snapped Gordon 19-to-10 and out-touched him 4-to-3. Outside of fullback Andrew Beck, Denver doesn't have another option behind Gordon/Boone, so a free agent veteran signing could be in the works.

Javonte Williams on crutches, has Monday MRI on knee

Broncos RB Javonte Williams left the locker room on crutches and will have an MRI on his injured knee Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury occurred in the second half. Without Williams, Denver's running game did not fare very well against the Raiders, particularly Melvin Gordon, who had just 8 yards on 3 carries and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, leading to Vegas' 32-23 win to give the Raiders their first win of the season. If Williams misses time, Gordon and Mike Boone could split the reps going forward. Boone had 20 yards on three carries and was also targeted three times in the passing game. Both he and DE Randy Gregory are set for MRIs Monday.

Broncos running back room still expected to be a 55/45 split

As has been reiterated all offseason long, we hear one last time that the Broncos will be employing s split backfield between Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon

Related Players: Matt Boone

Fantasy Impact:

Given how similar the two backs' fantasy floors are, it's incredible that there is a seven-round difference in their ADPs. Starting Javonte Williams as your team's RB1 is sure to deliver headaches throughout the season. Gordon is expected to handle high-leverage situations like goal line and short yardage work.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon: 'They want Javonte Williams to be guy'

Melvin Gordon on Javonte Williams getting the first snaps at practice: “They want ‘Vonte to be the guy”

Fantasy Impact:

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Gordon signed late in the game likely already knowing Williams may lead the way in snaps and touches out of the backfield. Still, Gordon should likely be involved and possibly a lot. Those who cover the team have said the split is around 60-40 in favor of Williams this summer. Finding a way to have both backs on your fantasy roster would be ideal - Williams is going in the late 2nd while Gordon is getting picked in the early 9th round.
