Draft Note by John Paulsen
I’m pretty low on Javonte Williams relative to consensus (RB10) and ADP (RB12), but the Melvin Gordon signing leads me to believe this will be a committee again in 2022. Williams’ share may tick up, but I don’t think the Broncos re-signed Gordon to stand on the sideline. Williams averaged 14.4 touches per game as a rookie and posted some nice advanced stats. He was 9th in yards after contact per carry and first in broken tackles per carry. (Gordon was 16th and 6th in those metrics, respectively.) We know Williams is good, but the RB1 workload is unlikely to be there.
