FantasyPros Articles on Javonte Williams
From the article
he ranked 16th in explosive run rate and third in yards after contact per attempt per Fantasy Points Data... If Williams can post production as he did over the first half of the 2025 season for an entire year, he is a locked-in top-10 back with top-5 upside.
STACKED’s take
Williams' first-half dominance and elite yards-after-contact metrics support top-10 back upside.
Williams finished 2025 as RB11 in fantasy points per game with 1,201 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns, ranking 16th in explosive run rate and 3rd in yards after contact per attempt among 49 qualifying backs. His first-half dominance (RB8 in PPG, 18.5 touches, 90.7 yards, 9 TDs in Weeks 1-8) suggests top-10 back potential with top-5 upside if sustained; at floor, he projects as a low-end RB1 or top-15 fantasy back. Despite second-half fade in touchdowns (RB25 in Weeks 9-17), his per-touch efficiency remained strong, with improved explosive run rate (5.5% vs 4.8%) and missed-tackle rate (13% vs 11%) down the stretch, indicating variance rather than skill decline.
