Javonte Williams Rest-of-Season Outlook
Workhorse RB1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB12 last season at 15.2 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB12 at 16.8 PPR points per game, against 15.2 over 16 games last season (RB12). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 9th of 95 in rushing volume (15.8 carries per game), 18th of 95 in receiving role (3.2 targets per game) and 17th of 95 in efficiency (2.39 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his rushing volume. Dak Prescott is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Tyler Goodson is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Packers in Week 6 (2nd against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Williams reset his value in 2025, rumbling for 1,201 yards on 252 carries at 4.77 per tote with 11 rushing scores across 16 games, good for 207.8 fantasy points and an RB15 finish. The volume was elite: 69% snaps, 66 red-zone opportunities, 20 goal-line carries, plus 35 grabs on 51 targets. He forced 25 broken tackles, gained 2.39 yards after contact, and ripped six runs of 20-plus with a long of 66, a leap from his 3.69 YPC Denver swan song.
His -0.035 EPA per play still trails the position's best, and the 8.4% target share caps full-PPR appeal, but Dallas stood pat behind him and handed him a new deal. As the locked-in lead back drafted around the third-fourth round turn, Williams profiles as a sturdy RB2 with weekly RB1 ceiling if the early-season touchdown pace holds.

If Williams Misses Time
Next man up: Tyler Goodson
Tyler Goodson is next on the Cowboys depth chart at running back. He's the handcuff: worth a bench spot in deeper leagues and for Williams managers, since the same backfield work would pass to him.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Dak Prescott would lose one of his main options.
