Javonte Williams: Already Ruled Out For 2023-24 NFL Season?

Javonte Williams: Already Ruled Out For 2023-24 NFL Season?

Javonte Williams fantasy owners may want to sell their stock before it’s too late. Is the Broncos lead running back in danger of missing the entire 2023-24 season? It appears that very well could be the case. We knew that Williams tore more than just his ACL making this a bit of a complex injury. Early gossip indicates Williams could miss a substantial amount of time heading into this year.

VIA Matthew Berry:

“10. The most fascinating nugget about Denver (and possibly of the whole combine) was about Javonte Williams’ health and I’m told there is a VERY wide range of possibilities regarding his return. There is a chance he is healthy to start the year. There is a chance he misses multiple games. And there is actually a chance he misses all of next year. I was told he is currently a lot more hurt than the team is letting on publicly and that the Broncos are secretly nervous. Don’t be surprised if the Broncos wind up with Kareem Hunt when all is said and done. Mike Boone is likely gone but Latavius Murray is expected to be back and be in the “Mark Ingram” role for Sean Payton. But Hunt, who is not expected to be back in Cleveland, is said to be a target for Denver. If Hunt winds up in Denver, my source said, you’ll know Javonte Williams’ injury is a lot worse than they are letting on.”

If you’re a Williams dynasty owner, do you even want to wait around for the possibility Denver adds a running back? Kareem Hunt certainly becomes a name to watch. If Denver lands Hunt on the free agent market, that may indicate the Williams injury is more severe than the team is leading on.
