Broncos stock report: Best outing of the season yet continues a positive trend for RB Javonte Williams

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:53:17 GMT

Stock UpRB Javonte WilliamsBest outing of the year so far for Williams. He had 96 total yards (82 rushing) on 18 touches. Williams continues to look stronger as he gets further and further off last year’s knee injury. And that should only continue. Only bad thing for Williams against the Packers came on the opening drive when his first rushing touchdown of the year was wiped off the board by a holding penalty.CB Fabian MoreauThe veteran corner has been Denver’s dime defensive back most of the year, but took over a starting spot Sunday and played the whole way. Moreau had played 28 snaps in the first six weeks and then got 64 against Green Bay. He’s played 96 games in his career, started about half and looked like a veteran across from Pat Surtain II on Sunday. A new duo going forward for Denver? A trade candidate showcase? Time will tell.WR Courtland SuttonDenver’s veteran receiver had his best outing of the year, finishing with six catches for 76 and his fifth touchdown catch of th...
