Valuable Handcuff Appeal Behind Javonte Williams in Dallas Backfield

Operating as the primary backup behind newly acquired Javonte Williams, Malik Davis enters the year with clear handcuff appeal. Our projections slate Davis for 61 carries, 283 rushing yards, and two touchdowns on the ground, along with a minor footprint in the passing game. He has proven capable when called upon, notably flashing with a 103-yard rushing performance late last season.

His draft market momentum shows growing interest among savvy fantasy managers. Davis's ADP has climbed steadily from around 304 in early June to 293 in July. In a 1.0 PPR scoring format, his low cost makes him a minimal-risk value option. Even though he is currently rostered in just 5% of leagues, his rising trajectory suggests the market is waking up to his potential.

While he begins the year on fantasy benches with a 0% start rate, his path to viability is straightforward. He sits securely ahead of Jaydon Blue on the depth chart. If Williams misses time, Davis would immediately inherit a substantial workload, making him a premier late-round stash.
