Outlook James Conner
Entering a Late-Career Supporting Role in an Increasingly Crowded Backfield
James Conner enters the upcoming season operating behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier on the offensive depth chart, signaling a significant shift away from his previous workhorse status. Our models project him for 59 rushing attempts and 227 rushing yards, accompanied by 13 receptions for 89 yards, culminating in a modest 57.4 fantasy points under a full-season outlook.
His draft market trajectory reflects this diminishing role, with his ADP holding relatively stable around pick 174 over the past month. While managers in deeper leagues might view this late-round cost as a cheap handcuff opportunity, our projections suggest his ceiling is heavily capped barring injuries ahead of him on the roster.
With overall fantasy ownership sitting near 23 percent and virtually zero starting confidence across formats, Conner profiles strictly as a situational depth piece rather than a reliable weekly contributor. Fantasy managers should treat him as a late-round lottery ticket rather than an impactful asset.

Outlook Javonte Williams
Primed for Heavy Volume in Dallas Following Strong Debut Campaign
Javonte Williams enters his second season with Dallas firmly entrenched as the lead back atop the offensive depth chart. After logging an impressive 272 rushing attempts and anchoring the ground game last year, our models project him for another robust workload featuring 226 carries and 1,118 rushing yards. He remains the clear focal point of the backfield ahead of backups Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah.
In the draft market, Williams' ADP has remained remarkably stable around the early third round, holding steady near 33 overall over the past month. With a high start rate hovering around 90 percent in fantasy leagues, managers continue to treat him as a reliable weekly starter. Our projections align well with this draft cost, positioning him as a solid mid-round anchor who provides dependable production without requiring a late-first or second-round investment.
While minor offensive line depth concerns exist with long-term injuries on the unit, Williams' proven efficiency and secure role in a high-powered offense safeguard his fantasy floor. Expect consistent touches on the ground supplemented by occasional work in the passing game, making him a safe target for fantasy managers looking for a dependable RB2 with RB1 upside.
