From the article

Dallas signed Javonte Williams to a three-year, $24 million extension in February... Head coach Brian Schottenheimer calls him "an absolute pounder . . . going to score 12 touchdowns every year for us." The volume supports it too: 19 opportunities per game, double-digit touches in all 16 contests, 62 red-zone touches (fifth among RBs), and 51 targets (11th).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Williams' locked-in role and 62 red-zone touches support RB1 upside at RB17 ADP.

Dallas signed Williams to a three-year, $24 million extension in February, locking in a back who delivered career highs in 2024: 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 RB10 finish. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer calls him "an absolute pounder . . . going to score 12 touchdowns every year for us." Volume supports the confidence: 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 RB17 ADP and late-third-round price, Williams offers solid value with enough upside to draft as the first running back if going with other positions early.
