Broncos RB Javonte Williams saw a decrease in playing time and route participation in the recent game against the Lions. His playing time dropped to 48%, the lowest since his return from injury in Week 6. Williams' involvement in the passing game also decreased significantly, running a route on just 25.7% of QB Russell Wilson's dropbacks. With his recent struggles in both playing time and production, Williams may only be considered as a starter for Week 16 and his usability for Week 17 will depend on his role and performance in the upcoming game against the Patriots. Samaje Perine and Jaleel McLaughlin also had some involvement in the game, with Perine catching 1 target for 11 yards and averaging 6.2 yards on 6 carries, while McLaughlin had just 4 touches.
