From the article

As the clear starter last year, Williams was the RB13 on RB6 usage using half PPR scoring. Nothing has changed? Same HC, OC, QB, OL (minus LG Tyler Smith), WRs and TEs. The Cowboys were fifth in scoring in 2025, and they're fifth in projected points this week at home against the Giants. It's an eruption spot. The Giants were the worst schedule-adjusted defense against fantasy RBs. Dead last. They were also last in EPA per carry allowed.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Williams' RB6 usage and elite matchup vs. Giants' worst-ranked run defense make this an eruption spot.

Williams was the RB13 on RB6 usage in 2024 as the clear starter with half-PPR scoring; nothing has changed with the same HC, OC, QB, OL (minus LG Tyler Smith), WRs, and TEs; the Cowboys were fifth in scoring in 2025 and are fifth in projected points this week at home against the Giants; Hayden Winks calls it an eruption spot, noting the Giants were the worst schedule-adjusted defense against fantasy RBs (dead last) and last in EPA per carry allowed, though they should improve under HC John Harbaugh despite losing star DT Dexter Lawrence.
