Javonte Williams on crutches, has Monday MRI on knee

Oct 02, 2022

Broncos RB Javonte Williams left the locker room on crutches and will have an MRI on his injured knee Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury occurred in the second half. Without Williams, Denver's running game did not fare very well against the Raiders, particularly Melvin Gordon, who had just 8 yards on 3 carries and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, leading to Vegas' 32-23 win to give the Raiders their first win of the season. If Williams misses time, Gordon and Mike Boone could split the reps going forward. Boone had 20 yards on three carries and was also targeted three times in the passing game. Both he and DE Randy Gregory are set for MRIs Monday.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
