Javonte Williams Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

The Broncos list RBs Javonte Williams (knee) and Melvin Gordon (thumb, hip) as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Both guys were limited in practice all week. They're not at 100% at this point of the season (who is?) but should be fine for Sunday.

Broncos RBs Melvin Gordon (thumb, hip) and Javonte Williams (knee) are active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. Gordon got in 3 limited practices this week; Williams was limited on Wednesday and Friday, sitting out on Thursday with some knee swelling. We never heard much concern for either guy, though, so we’re expecting the status quo in Denver’s backfield today.

Broncos RBs Melvin Gordon (thumb, hip) and Javonte Williams (knee) are expected to play vs. the Bengals today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Unless we hear otherwise, we're expecting the near 50/50 split in Denver's backfield to continue.

Broncos RBs Melvin Gordon (thumb, hip) and Javonte Williams (knee) are listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. Gordon got in 3 limited practices this week; Williams was limited on Wednesday and Friday, sitting out on Thursday with some knee swelling. HC Vic Fangio said Friday that Williams is “fine.” We’re expecting the near-even 50/50 split in Denver’s backfield to continue this weekend.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams did not practice on Thursday after his knee "kind of swelled up," per HC Vic Fangio. That doesn't sound good -- but Fangio said that he still expects Williams to play vs. the Bengals on Sunday. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon sprained a thumb in Sunday's win over the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gordon was able to play through the issue yesterday and it "doesn’t figure to limit his playing time going forward," per Rapoport. We'll keep an eye on Gordon this week, but it sounds like we should expect Denver's committee backfield to continue in Sunday's game vs. the Bengals.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it seems like he’s still not at 100%. We’ll see what kind of role he plays after RB Javonte Williams’ massive Week 13. The plus matchup at least keeps Gordon in play as a RB3 or flex.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. Both he and HC Vic Fangio expect Gordon to play. We’ll see what kind of roles he’s returning to after RB Javonte Williams’ massive Week 13. The plus matchup against Detroit keeps Gordon in play as a RB3 or flex.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. RB Javonte Williams, of course, exploded with Gordon out last week. It's unclear exactly what that means for the backfield split going forward, but the matchup with Detroit's 29th-ranked RB defense makes Williams an easy Week 14 fantasy start. Gordon's viability will depend on what he does in practice the rest of the week.

The Broncos have downgraded RB Melvin Gordon to out. He was already doubtful with shoulder and hip injuries. This just locks Javonte Williams in as a solid-to-strong starter for Week 13.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. It's Javonte Williams time. The rookie has been splitting work with Gordon all season but should get feature-back volume this week. And he draws a Kansas City defense that Football Outsiders ranks 28th against the run. Williams is a legit RB1 in Week 13 fantasy lineups.

Broncos HC Vic Fangio called RB Melvin Gordon (hip) "50/50" for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. Gordon played through this hip issue last weekend but missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow. Gordon's absence would make Javonte Williams a RB1.

Broncos OC Pat Shurmur is in COVID protocols and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Shurmur is Denver's offensive play-caller, so it's less-than-ideal for QB Teddy Bridgewater and Denver's skill-position guys.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) is expected to play vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gordon is listed as questionable, but we never heard any concern about his status. Expect him to continue splitting work with rookie RB Javonte Williams today.

Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater is expected to clear the concussion protocol today and play vs. the Steelers on Sunday, according to insider Mike Klis. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report later today. Bridgewater's availability would be good news for all of Denver's skill-position players.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (ribs, lower leg) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. We haven't heard any concern about his status, but check back Sunday to make sure he's active. Gordon's absence would turn RB Javonte Williams into a strong fantasy play.

Broncos HC Vic Fangio says he's willing to use rookie RB Javonte Williams on all downs and distances. "He's earned that trust, and we're not at all against playing him in any situation, in any time of the game," Fangio said. We'll get our 1st look at how work is divvied between Williams and RB Melvin Gordon on Sunday.

Broncos RB Mike Boone (quad) has been placed on short-term IR. He's eligible to be activated starting in Week 4. Melvin Gordon, Javonte Williams and Royce Freeman figure to open the season as Denver's top 3 backs.
