NFL fantasy fallout: More opportunity for Javonte Williams, Chuba Hubbard?

Nobody has a more stacked lineup of fantasy analysts and NFL team reporters than ESPN. It's the rare "backfield by committee" that is actually a good thing for fantasy football managers.

Every Tuesday, Mike Triplett will ask our NFL Nation reporters a series of burning questions about the weekend's biggest stories to help inform you for your waiver wire pickups and other roster decisions.

This week's roundup includes some growth potential for rookies Javonte Williams, Chuba Hubbard and Amon-Ra St. Brown, among others.

It's time to begin our weekly trip around the league, so fasten your seat belts and get ready to tour the NFL Nation!

Javonte Williams has to have earned himself a bigger role in Denver's RB timeshare, even when Melvin Gordon III eventually returns from his injury, right?

In the near term, we'll have to wait and see when Gordon might be back. He did not practice at all last week, so it remains to be seen whether he will even practice on a limited basis this week. That said, Williams has shown quick growth in the two areas that will give him more touches overall: blitz pick-up in the passing game and his usage as a receiver.
