Javonte Williams start or sit: Week 6 fantasy football advice

Rookie running back Javonte Williams has been playing himself into more usage for the Denver Broncos. He hasn’t overtaken Melvin Gordon for the starting job yet, but he is definitely eating into his workload.

Williams had three straight games to start the season with double-digit carries, but he has eight carries or fewer the last two weeks. On the year, Williams has 54 rushing attempts for 247 yards and a touchdown. He has 11 receptions on 12 targets for 75 additional yards.

And now, Gordon is questionable with a hip injury. Gordon is expected to play, but Williams could see even more work this weekend.
