Draft Note by John Paulsen
After an ACL tear derailed his second season, Williams played nearly a full slate of games in 2023, finishing as the fantasy RB31. He left Week 4 after only eight snaps, so when that game is removed, his 11.7 points per game average would have been the 23rd-highest last season. His advanced metrics weren’t particularly good, but that’s not surprising since it was his first season post-ACL. He was first in broken tackles per rush as a rookie, so the Broncos are surely hoping he can get back to that early-career rushing form. Per The Athletic, Williams will reportedly have to “earn the starting job in camp,” so the Denver backfield is one to monitor this summer.
