Entering Year Two, there is no doubt Schottenheimer wants to run more when the game script allows. More attempts mean more opportunities for Williams, both in terms of raw volume and crucial red-zone touches.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Rushing volume upside as Cowboys defense improves and Schottenheimer runs more.

Williams has significant room for improvement in rushing volume. The Cowboys finished 16th in rushing attempts in 2025 despite ranking 9th in yards per attempt and 9th in yards per attempt efficiency. With new head coach Brian Schottenheimer historically favoring a run-first approach and the team's improved defense expected to reduce the need for pass-heavy game scripts, more rushing attempts and crucial red-zone touches are likely in Year Two, providing upside beyond his RB11 finish.
