Expert takes
“Javonte Williams ran an inefficient 19/62 on the ground but found the endzone three times to finish as the RB3.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026“Williams is averaging only 4.0 yards per touch (the fewest of any RB1 this season), but he has 81.1% of the backfield touches (RB7), with 44% of his fantasy points coming directly from touchdown production. Only Derrick Henry (46.3%) has a higher touchdown dependency among top-40 backs through four weeks. While that adds some potential regression here, Williams is still attached to a home favorite and has that workload and scoring equity in his pocket.”
Rich Hribar· Oct 6, 2026“While Javonte Williams remains the clear lead option for the Cowboys, Goodson appears to have carved out the primary third-down and backup role. The most fascinating stat from Sunday? Goodson handled seven touches on just 11 total snaps .”
Nate Henry· Sep 29, 2026

“Javonte Williams is averaging 2.6 yards per carry through two weeks, and half of his carries have gone for two or fewer yards. He ranks second-lowest in rushing first downs and has looked slower this season. The Cowboys’ offensive line ranks last in yards before contact.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“The Cowboys offensive line has struggled without Tyler Smith , and it has shown with Williams averaging 3.4 and 2.5 rushing yards per attempt so far. It will get better for Williams, but it may not be this week. Baltimore has the makings to make this a track meet early against a dreadful Cowboys defense, leaving Dallas no option but to toss the ball around the park in Rio.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 24, 2026“While I believe the aforementioned Judkins and Javonte Williams are good backs, I am not sold that they are great. However, both RBs get nearly all of the work for their respective backfields. I’m no chemist, but I know that if you mix bad defenses with high-powered offenses, you often get fireworks.”
Colt Williams· Sep 24, 2026“Last year, Javonte Williams was a massive surprise in fantasy football to everyone, including me.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) A breakout that surprised even his believers, as Williams finished RB11 in points per game after most expectations topped out at a volume-driven RB2.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3, 2026“” – Aaron St Denis ( Fantasy Sports Advice Network ) Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) “If I end up with a late pick, Javonte Williams is the running back I’m targeting when I get to Round 3. Last year, he was awesome in his first year with Dallas, racking up 1,338 total yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30, 2026“Javonte Williams is coming off a season with more than 1,200 rushing yards and is in a high-powered offense.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22, 2026“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) was actually the RB1 in fantasy points per game last year, yet he’s being drafted like a mid-tier RB2 this year.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026“Round 5: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI) Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was staring me in the face, but with a FLEX spot still available in a PPR league, I couldn’t pass up DeVonta Smith .”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5, 2026
“Brock Bowers Is Elite Bowers returned from his knee injury with 10 catches, 116 yards, and a TD. Three catches came on the opening drive, so he did not have to ease back into the offense. Apparently, two weeks off was enough rest for the entire season and will pay off the early-round investment.”
Chris Cash· Sep 28, 2026“Brock Bowers finished as the TE2 in his return from his preseason knee surgery.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 2, 2026“Bowers had a 94.6% route participation rate, 39.4% target share, 0.37 TPRR, 50.0% first-read share, and 41.7% air yard share. Bowers should have another big effort in a contest where the Raiders will need to keep up with the favored Chiefs. Jaxon Smith-Njigba : 90.5 Receiving Yards – Higher Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the not-so-mystery player Kubiak fed last year.”

“IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Brock Bowers – 13 targets, 10 rec It did not take long for Bowers to remind the fantasy football world how dominant he can be when healthy. The 13 targets to him in his season debut accounted for a 43.3% target share. It was the tenth time in 30 career games that he has earned double-digit targets.”
Aaron Larson· Sep 29, 2026“TE Quick Hitters Brock Bowers | TE, Las Vegas Raiders (QUESTIONABLE) – Bowers is officially questionable after getting in two limited practices to start the week and then not practicing Friday. The Raiders indicated that Bowers’ Friday absence was planned and not a setback. If Bowers is active, he has to be in your starting lineup.”
Edward DeLauter· Sep 26, 2026“The Raiders are 2-0 despite not having TE Brock Bowers available, which is amazing considering how thin their skill group is viewed as. Unfortunately, I have serious doubts about how sustainable all of this is. The teams the Raiders have played so far have combined to go 0-4 with a scoring differential of -60.”
Logan Ulrich· Sep 24, 2026“Coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Bowers will sit after a meniscus procedure, leaving Mayer as the clear TE1 for Kirk Cousins. When Mayer has been featured, he has produced at a starter's volume. He logged a 78.4% route participation rate, a 23.7% target share, a 26% target rate per route, 4.5 receptions per game, 49.0 receiving yards per game, 2.25 yards per route run, and 1 receiving touchdown without Bowers last year.”
Tucker Bagley· Sep 12, 2026“With an anemic wide receiver corps in Las Vegas, Bowers should be awash in targets this season. New head coach Klint Kubiak has been tasked with repairing the Raiders’ offense, and his track record suggests he can right the ship. No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza provides hope, while the Raiders also have tight end-friendly quarterback Kirk Cousins .”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 8, 2026“Round 3 Jason (3.01) – Brock Bowers (TE, LV) Mike (3.05) – Chris Olave (WR, NO) Andy (3.09) – D’Andre Swift (RB, CHI) Of course, Brock Bowers is really only a third-round pick in this mock draft in name only, as Jason waited to take him at the 3.01.”
Kurt Mullen· Sep 4, 2026“Widely considered one of the best TE prospects to ever enter the league, Bowers had 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns on 153 targets as a rookie. With better health in 2026, he has a chance to match or exceed his rookie numbers. The Raiders are talent-starved at wide receiver, so Bowers is poised to be their alpha pass catcher.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3, 2026“There are great expectations for Brock Bowers in his third NFL season following an injury-plagued Year 2. Bowers had five catches for 103 yards in the Raiders’ 2025 season opener against the Patriots, but he sustained a PCL injury and bone bruise to his left knee in that game, was clearly hampered over his next three games (with under 50 receiving yards in each) and was shut down for three games.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 29, 2026“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) & Trey McBride (TE – ARI) Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn’t really matter. Neither should be drafted this high. Last season, McBride averaged 18.6 PPR points per game, and Bowers averaged 15.5 in 2024, the better season of his two years in the NFL.”
