Outlook Javonte Williams

Ready to Build on Career-Best Cowboys Debut as a High-End Fantasy Anchor

Williams enters the season as the undisputed lead back for Dallas, sitting atop a depth chart that features Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue in reserve roles. In his Cowboys debut last year, Williams compiled a career-high 1,133 rushing yards on 272 carries, proving his pre-injury explosiveness is fully back.

Having recently secured a lucrative new contract, the motivated veteran is aiming for his first Pro Bowl selection. Our models back this optimism, forecasting 242 carries for 1,133 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, along with 34 receptions. This heavy projected workload cements him as a trusted weekly starter.

His ADP has held incredibly stable around 33.00 over the past month. In 1.0 PPR formats, our projections show he is a fantastic value steal in the late-third round, offering high-volume safety without the premium draft cost typically associated with a starting workhorse.
