More positive news on Javonte Williams' recovery

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams continues his beat-the-clock return from the knee injury that finished his 2022 season after four games. Williams, a second-round draft pick by the Broncos in 2021 and an All-Rookie team member that season, suffered a torn ACL and LCL in his right knee in the Broncos' Oct. 2 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He said he was initially given a timetable of 12-to-18 months to return to the field.

The article goes on to mention that Williams participating in any preseason games is still up in the air, while Sean Payton mentioned that the team is taking a "wait and see" approach.

Even with all the optimism, it still seems like veteran RB Samaje Perine could have a hefty workload to start the year.

Broncos RB Javonte WIlliams will not start camp on PUP

Broncos RB Javonte Williams will not start training camp on PUP I’m told. It had been pointing in that direction all off season, and the team officially has decided he won’t start on PUP. A great sign for his chances Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

This matches up with an earlier report that Williams thought he would be "ready to go" by Week 1. This doesn't necessarily mean that he is back to full health but this is good news nonetheless. With a slight bit of pessimism about him being all the way back to 100%, Javonte should be considered a low-end RB2 for now.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams feels "ready to go"

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 4 last season, said Sunday "the plan'' is for him to be cleared for the start of training camp and to participate at least some in practices after the team's veteran players report July 25.

Fantasy Impact:

The article doesn't really give any definitive answers beyond Williams being quoted as saying, "I mean, that's the plan. I feel like I'm ready to go" when asked if he would be medically cleared for training camp. An optimist could take away that it means he will be ready for Week 1, but we should probably wait for some more ringing endorsements before we jump on that train. With those worries still in the air, Javonte should still be considered a low-end RB2 for the time being.

Broncos expect RB Javonte Williams to be ready for training camp

Broncos coach Sean Payton said Saturday the team expects running back Javonte Williams to be ready for the start of training camp, the most optimistic timeline given yet for the third-year starter recovering from a major knee injury he suffered last October.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams, a second-round pick in 2021, suffered an ACL tear in Week 4 against the Raiders last season and sustained other damage in the knee as well. Being ready for the start of training camp would represent a relatively rapid recovery for Williams, whose absence was felt significantly by Denver’s league-worst offense last season.

We'll need more positive reports before we can feel wholly comfortable drafting Williams in ongoing best ball leagues. It still feels very likely that the team may add an additional veteran piece to this equation.
