From the article

Williams was a top-12 running back in average fantasy points last year in all scoring formats – standard, half-PPR and PPR. His first year with Cowboys head coach/offensive play-caller Brian Schottenheimer was also his first with more than 1,000 rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns (Williams had 11 in 2025). Last year served as a re-breakout season for Williams three years after a brutal knee injury, and it sets high expectations for the Cowboys' running back after he earned himself a three-year extension.
