Backup Role Behind Javonte Williams Keeps Ceiling Capped as Market Fades
Davis enters the season slated as the direct backup to lead rusher Javonte Williams in Dallas. While beat reports indicated he would open the year as the RB2 over Emari Demercado, his path to consistent playing time is narrow in an offense led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.
Our projections outline minimal standalone utility, estimating 75 carries for 350 rushing yards and three touchdowns, alongside just seven receptions. Having averaged 5.0 yards per carry across limited work in 2025, Davis offers burst, but a lack of passing-down involvement caps his baseline output.
The draft market has cooled dramatically on his prospects. Davis's ADP plummeted from roughly pick 300 in mid-August down past pick 700, while his roster rate dropped to four percent. Our models see him strictly as an injury-contingent handcuff who is safe to leave on waiver wires in standard leagues.

Outlook Kaleb Johnson
Fresh Start in Green Bay Creates Deep Stash Appeal
Acquired from Pittsburgh late in the preseason, Kaleb Johnson lands a much-needed fresh start in Green Bay. With starter Josh Jacobs sidelined on the Commissioner Exempt list, Johnson enters a reshuffled backfield alongside MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks. While listed fourth on the depth chart, the former third-round pick fits the Packers' outside-zone scheme well.
Johnson must overcome a dismal rookie campaign in which he averaged just 2.5 yards per carry across 28 attempts. Our projections peg him for a limited rotational role, anticipating 80 carries for 365 rushing yards and three touchdowns, with 12 receptions for 50 yards as a secondary option.
In 1.0 PPR formats, Johnson's ADP plummeted past pick 400 late in August before rebounding toward 380 following the trade, which also sparked his roster rate from 2% to 18%. At his bargain market price, our data views him strictly as a deep bench stash or watch-list candidate.
