Splits backfield tasks again Williams ran for 53 yards on 11 carries against Las Vegas on Sunday, adding three receptions for 15 yards on three targets.

Impact Williams provided Denver its biggest gain on the ground Sunday, producing a 30-yard carry that marked his third 20-yard carry on just 65 attempts in his young NFL career, but he once again almost evenly split the workload with veteran technical starter Melvin Gordon. As well as Williams has played through six games, the veteran Gordon has played fairly well in his own right, and Sunday he mostly matched Williams by producing 50 yards on 10 carries. The workload split between the two leaves them somewhat touchdown-dependent for fantasy viability, but the explosive production in the meantime is encouraging for the rookie. The Broncos hit the road for Cleveland in Week 7.

Totals 86 yards in loss Williams rushed eight times for 61 yards and caught all three targets for 25 more yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Williams split touches with Melvin Gordon evenly (11 each), but the former outplayed his veteran counterpart in this contest. Neither back has really outshone the other on a consistent basis through five weeks, so a timeshare should continue as we progress through the year. Both Williams and Gordon may end up eating in Week 6 against the Raiders, who surrender 133.3 rushing yards per game this season.

Looks good with limited touches Williams carried the ball seven times for 48 yards and caught all three of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

Impact The Denver running game had some success in the first half, and both Williams and Melvin Gordon finished the afternoon averaging better than six yards a carry, but when Teddy Bridgewater left the game with a concussion late in the second quarter, the whole offense stagnated. Williams came into Sunday with just a 3.5 YPC through his first three NFL games, however, and the rookie could slip back to that level in Week 5 against a tough Steelers run defense.

To continue splitting time Sunday Williams will continue splitting time with Melvin Gordon (ribs/lower leg) in Sunday's home showdown against the Ravens after the latter was confirmed active for the Week 4 contest.

Impact The rookie appeared to have a chance at true lead-back status at one point during the practice week with Gordon managing multiple injuries, but the veteran trended in the right direction in subsequent days and now is officially available for the contest. Williams could still enjoy a solid complementary workload, however, considering he's logged double-digit carries in all three games thus far.
