Should You Start or Sit Javonte Williams in Week 16?
If you’re chasing Broncos backfield touches, I feel for you. I also admire your willingness to explore all potential options.
I also think you’re nuts.
The Chargers own the lowest running back rush TD rate in the league, and Javonte Williams hasn’t reached double figures in carries since Nov. 3; I truly believe that this is a hot-hand situation where the coaching staff has no idea who is going to lead in touches in a given week.
I have Williams ranked second in this backfield, but none of them grace my top 30 at the position.
