• Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Career-high rushing yardage in win

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams rushed 25 times for 155 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night. Williams broke out for a new single-game career high in rushing yards during the impressive victory, sealing the win with a two-yard scoring run just ahead of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. The remarkable performance also marked Williams' first 100-yard tally of the season, and he's been highly rewarding for fantasy managers by scoring a touchdown in five straight games. Williams should have a prime opportunity to continue building on his strong first half of the season in Week 8, as he'll face a vulnerable Cardinals run defense at home on Sunday.

• Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Scores again in Week 6 defeat

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Packers. Williams got the Cowboys on the board with a one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. That was his seventh rushing score and eighth total touchdown through six games this season. Dallas trailed by double digits the entire second half, which explains Williams' season-low carry total. His frequent trips to the end zone have made up for a lack of efficiency, as Williams is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry after notching a career-best 4.8 YPC in 2025. Williams mustered 3.6 YPC in 2023 and 3.7 YPC in 2024 with the Broncos, so his first year in Dallas is starting to look like an outlier in that regard, though he should remain an effective fantasy option as long as he's locked into a three-down role with the Cowboys. He's likely to get more rushing opportunities in Week 7, as the Cowboys are unlikely to fall into a deep hole against an injury-riddled Eagles team on a four-game losing streak.

• Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Another TD in Week 5 loss

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams rushed 12 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Cowboys' 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night. Williams' rushing opportunities were somewhat capped by a surprising second-half game script that included a 17-0 third-quarter advantage for Tampa Bay. However, the veteran running back had gotten Dallas started off on the right foot in the first quarter, when he capped off a nine-play opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. Williams did a respectable job throughout the night grinding out yards against a tough Buccaneers run defense, but he's now averaged less than 3.8 yards per carry in four of the first five games, including two straight. Nevertheless, Williams does have six rushing touchdowns in the same span, and he should have a good chance at a heftier workload on the ground in a Week 6 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

  Williams carried the ball 19 times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens. He also caught two of three targets for five yards. The veteran back gave the Cowboys a 10-0 lead in the first quarter with a two-yard TD plunge, his third trip to the end zone in three games this season, and Williams topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 12 of 2025. Even with Sunday's strong effort, Williams has managed just 3,9 yards per carry to begin the year, a major downturn from his 4.8 mark in 2025. He'll look to keep building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

• Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Compiles 50 total yards in win

  09/21/2026 • By RotoWire

  Williams rushed 12 times for 30 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday. The Commanders' front more than held its own against the Cowboys' offensive line, leading Williams to scratch and claw for yardage while Dak Prescott carved up Washington's defense through the air. Williams still played a clear lead role despite the modest amount of rush attempts, and he was once again an important complementary option in the passing game. Williams has another tough assignment on tap in Week 3, as the Cowboys welcome in the Ravens next Sunday.
