Javonte Williams ranked as NFL’s 3rd-best running back

The Denver Broncos have one of the best running backs in the NFL.

That’s according to Touchdown Wire’s Doug Fararr, who recently released his list of the league’s top 11 running backs ahead of the 2022 season. Fararr has Javonte Williams ranked third, only trailing Jonathan Taylor and Nick Chubb.

Here is part of Fararr’s commentary with Williams’ ranking:

Williams should continue to be part of that dangerous rotation in Denver, and the Broncos will see fewer loaded boxes with Russell Wilson at quarterback than they did with Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater in that position. Committee or not, all signs point to a breakout season for a back who has already broken out about as much as he could in his rookie season.

Splitting carries with Melvin Gordon last season, Williams totaled 1,219 yards from scrimmage and scored seven touchdowns in Year 1. Fans and pundits are now expecting even bigger numbers in Year 2.
