Javonte Williams

The Lions kept Williams bottled up all evening, as the veteran running back managed just one run of 10 or more yards on the day. Williams bailed out his fantasy managers with a one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, but Williams has now been held to under 4.0 YPC in back-to-back weeks and hasn't hit 100 rushing yards since Week 7 against the Commanders. Williams' continues to see good volume, but his limited receiving upside makes him somewhat a touchdown dependent play. He'll be on the RB1/RB2 fantasy radar for Week 15 against the Vikings.

Williams rushed 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for no gain in the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

Williams carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.

Williams again operated as a borderline workhorse back for a Cowboys team that is surging late in the season. His fourth quarter receiving touchdown came on a broken play from the three while trailing by a point, with a successful two-point conversion giving the Cowboys a lead they would not relinquish. Backup running back Malik Davis surged to 47 yards and a touchdown on only three carries and could begin to earn more work in the backfield after consecutive strong performances on limited touches.

Davis is emerging as the clear RB2 behind Javonte Williams, who had 87 scoreless yards on 20 rushes against a tough Philadelphia front seven in Week 12. Davis showed a lot of burst on two of his three carries against the Eagles, including a 21-yard run up the middle. Davis should be stashed on fantasy benches this week in case Williams gets dinged up down the stretch. Jaydon Blue was once again a healthy inactive in Week 12.
