Outlook Javonte Williams

Dallas Ground Game Key to Unlocking High-End Value

Now established as the lead running back in Dallas, Williams sits atop the depth chart ahead of Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue. Our projections slate him for a heavy workload of 240 carries, positioning him to spearhead a potent ground game after a highly efficient 2025 campaign where he averaged 4.7 yards per carry.

His fantasy stock has shown strong upward momentum, with his ADP climbing from the mid-40s up to 34 overall. Fantasy managers are buying into his physical trajectory, especially with recent media highlights reminding everyone of his pre-injury explosiveness. At this price in PPR formats, he represents a high-end RB2 investment.

We project Williams to amass 1,120 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground, supplemented by 35 receptions. This high-volume projection keeps his weekly floor incredibly stable and makes him a strong anchor for your fantasy backfield.
