Javonte Williams

Some won't love Williams' landing spot in Denver with Melvin Gordon there, but he's got just one year left on his deal and is still facing a potential suspension from the NFL for his drinking and driving incident. On top of that, the Broncos seemed to want a timeshare with him and Phillip Lindsay, so it's not like Williams won't have fantasy appeal in 2021. This offense is a quarterback away from exploding, which gives Williams massive upside on his rookie contract.

Javonte Williams selected No.35 by Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have selected RB Javonte Williams with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Broncos traded with the Falcons to select North Carolina RB Javonte Williams. Denver traded the 40th and the 114th pick to the Falcons in exchange for the 35th and 219th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Williams is an incredibly strong runner and an effective pass catcher. He rushed for 1,140 yards and 19 touchdowns while hauling in 25 receptions for 305 yards and three touchdowns in his final season in North Carolina. Williams will compete with veteran RB Melvin Gordon for the Broncos primary RB role.
