Cowboys Lead Back Poised for Major Workload After Resurgent Campaign
Williams enters the season as the lead back in Dallas, sitting atop a depth chart featuring Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue. Coming off a highly productive 17-game season where he registered 272 carries, he has fully cemented his role as a focal point of this potent offense.
Market sentiment is rising, with his PPR ADP climbing from 37 down to 34 over the past month. Our projections view this rising cost as an excellent draft-day value, forecasting 1,111 rushing yards and nine touchdowns as the clear lead runner.
After averaging 4.7 yards per carry last year, his pre-ACL tear explosiveness has fully returned. Sharing the field with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb ensures plenty of red-zone opportunities, making him a highly reliable RB2.

Rising Draft Stock Positions Veteran Back as High-Value Flex Target
Anchoring the Minnesota backfield, Aaron Jones Sr. enters the season as the primary option ahead of Jordan Mason. While his workload dipped to 141 carries last year across 13 games, his dual-threat capability remains a focal point. Our projections slot him for 151 rushing attempts and 41 receptions, ensuring a steady weekly baseline.
In 1.0 PPR leagues, his draft stock has shown positive momentum, steadily rising from an ADP of 123 in early May to around 111. Our models suggest this climbing cost represents a clear draft-day value opportunity, especially for managers looking to secure a trusted veteran at a discount.
With a projected 163.2 fantasy points, we expect him to operate as a high-end flex option or low-end RB2. His ability to catch passes out of the backfield (projected for 300 receiving yards) cushions his floor, even if his touchdown upside is capped at a projected four total scores.
