Javonte Williams shining despite Cowboys' flagging run gameDallas' run game hasn't been nearly as efficient in recent weeks, but Williams still could top 1,300 yards.
Javonte Williams rushed 17 times for 67 yards and one touchdown in the Cowboys' Week 14 loss to the Lions.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.

Javonte Williams rushed 17 times for 59 yards in the Cowboys' Week 13 win over the Chiefs, adding 21 yards and a touchdown on three receptions.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.
