Think Javonte Williams falls under the same umbrella as a Kyren Williams in round 3. The home-run level explosiveness is limited (outside top 20 RBs in % of 20 and 30 yard runs even last year in bounce back season) as is the receiving work (35th among RBs in target share, worse when ceedee was active). Williams also tailed off in the back half of last year (4.4% explosive rate, 4.3 YPC), for what that’s worth. He had no competition for most of last year but there’s a decent chance his lacking...

Running back for the Dallas Cowboys currently at ADP of RB17, but Vegas projects him at 1,000+ rushing yards and 9.5 rushing touchdowns. The source views him as significantly undervalued relative to Vegas and his actual role; he's being drafted at the 3–4 turn in full PPR leagues despite being the clear goal line and early down back attached to a very high-scoring offense. The source compares his profile to Josh Jacobs a few years ago—a younger, bruising back with elite touchdown opportunity and role security.

Williams remains one of the best draft values despite already being widely regarded as such last season. In his first year with the Cowboys, he set career-high marks: 252 rushing attempts, 1,201 rushing yards, and 13 total TDs. At only 26 years old, he ranked fifth at the position with 3.56 yards after contact per attempt (PFF), had 54 forced missed tackles (seventh-best), and 26 explosive runs (12th). Projections have him slated for the sixth-most rushing TDs by an RB in 2026. He's locked into a healthy contract for several seasons with a loaded, high-octane Cowboys offense that should score plenty of points. Should the stars align again, he should have no problem beating out his current ADP in all formats.

Javonte Williams is a safe third-round pick coming off 1,300+ yards and 13 touchdowns last season. His early-down workload and touchdown opportunities are secure with no backup competition; the source notes his rush attempts and scoring are not in danger. However, his ceiling is limited compared to peers like Breece Hall because passing-down work is unlikely to expand—even when everything went perfectly last season, he finished 13th in points per game. The role will likely be reduced or stay flat, not expand. Still a very safe pick in a great offense where touchdowns and early-down volume will remain.

Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams, and D'Andre Swift easily outscored Breece Hall in fantasy land last season. All three avoided additional backfield competition and are still in offenses we expect to rock. Geno Smith + Frank Reich enough for Breece to leap them this time around?
