From the article

Javonte Williams (@IND) barely averaged two yards per carry last week, a week after setting a career high in rushing yards. Which Williams will we get this week? A good one, I expect. Indianapolis's run defense isn't as stout without DeForest Buckner and allows the tenth most FPPG to opposing RBs. The Colts are reeling and offered very little resistance to Jacksonville's ground game last week (the first without Buckner). Williams is among the league leaders in carries inside the five and should bounce back nicely in this spot.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Williams bounces back vs. Colts' weakened run defense without Buckner.

Williams is in a smash spot this week. He barely averaged two yards per carry last week after setting a career high in rushing yards the week before, so a bounce-back is expected. Indianapolis's run defense isn't as stout without DeForest Buckner and allows the tenth most FPPG to opposing RBs. The Colts are reeling and offered very little resistance to Jacksonville's ground game last week (the first without Buckner). Williams is among the league leaders in carries inside the five and should bounce back nicely in this spot.
