Stock watch: Jets' Leonard Williams displays 'nose' for quarterback

A look at the risers and fallers from the New York Jets' 17-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars:

RISERS

Leonard Williams, nose tackle: Yeah, that's right, nose tackle. Projected starter Steve McLendon (sore toe) got the night off, so Williams handled the nose tackle duties on the first series -- the only series for the starting defense. Last year's first-round pick made a big play, a third-down sack that forced the Jaguars to settle for a field goal. Defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers said he's looking for ways to get the Big Three on the field at the same time -- Williams, Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson, who didn't play the opener.
