Dallas signed Javonte Williams to a three-year, $24 million extension in February -- before he even hit free agency -- locking in the guy who quietly delivered career highs across the board: personal bests in carries and rushing yards, 11 rushing touchdowns matching his prior four seasons combined, and a first career 1,000-yard season good for a top-10 finish.

Williams' RB17 ADP undervalues his locked-in lead role and 1,000-yard upside.

Dallas signed Williams to a three-year, $24 million extension in February, locking in the lead back after a career year: personal bests in carries and rushing yards, 11 rushing touchdowns (matching his prior four seasons combined), and a first career 1,000-yard season good for a top-10 finish. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer calls him "an absolute pounder . . . going to score 12 touchdowns every year for us." The volume supports the role: 19 opportunities per game, double-digit touches in all 16 contests, 62 red-zone touches (fifth among RBs), and 51 targets (11th). While Jaydon Blue may contribute, Williams should remain the clear lead back. The source is bullish for another RB1 season after last year's RB12 finish. With an RB17 ADP and late-third-round price, Williams offers solid value with enough upside to be drafted as the source's first running back if other positions are prioritized early.
