Javonte Williams vs Jeremiyah Love

“Biggest Differences in ADP vs Fantasy Finish RB 2025 ADP 2025 Finish Differential Javonte Williams 41 11 30 Travis Etienne Jr .”

“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) Williams was one of the best fantasy football draft values last season. Despite being the RB36 in ADP, the former North Carolina star ended the year as the RB12, averaging 15.2 PPR fantasy points per game.”

“This, combined with the decent running game by Javonte Williams , makes taking them both at their current ADP a no-brainer.”

“Javonte Williams among RBs last season: • 896 yards after contact (6th) • 54 missed tackles forced (7th) • 11 rushing touchdowns (8th)”

“Javonte Williams was highly efficient last season, but the Cowboys were often playing from behind, so he couldn’t get to his ceiling. This season, with a full year of Quinnen Williams , along with stud rookies Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence , the Cowboys should be much improved.”

“In Javonte Williams’ first season with the Dallas Cowboys, he ran 252 times for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns, and caught 35 passes on 51 targets for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Heading into this season, my biggest concern for Williams was the Cowboys adding another running back, but ultimately, they didn’t. The running back depth chart includes Williams, Malik Davis , Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah .”

“I'm genuinely high on Javonte Williams for redraft leagues this year. I think he's in line for a big season.”

“Javonte Williams began his career as a 21 year-old rookie challenging Melvin Gordon. He was a textbook Left-Wing Slappy player. When he popped up in Dallas last year as the ostensible starter coming off two terribly inefficient seasons, he was clearly a Right-Wing Slappy success story. Now that he's secured the RB1 job and his ADP has shot up into the 3rd round, he's clearly retained his Right-Wing status but has fallen into the boomer quadrant.”

“News out of OTAs suggests that Malik Davis is the RB2 on the depth chart behind Javonte Williams. While Williams had a great bounce-back season last year, he has struggled with injuries throughout his career.”

“Williams is far enough removed from his injuries to shed the injury-prone label and start believing in his talent and situation.”

“At age 25, Williams is entering year six of his career, and despite the awful injuries early on, he's now played 16+ games in each of the last three seasons. Williams is the clear starter for the Cowboys, with no serious threats behind him.”

“One of them could be the direct backup to Javonte Williams, and if you can manage to get either for $1, that could be a quality bench stash, but you'd want to make sure no one else bids $2 and lose out on them.”

“com/gbdOyXuR12 — Fantasy Footballers (@TheFFBallers) July 6, 2026 Jeremiyah Love is entering a situation very similar to the one Ashton Jeanty faced last year.”

“The question will be how much Tyler Allgeier gets involved in that role versus Jeremiyah Love having all of that work.”

“Sleeper: Jeremiyah Love, Running Back (RB13, Pick 24 Overall) It’s hard to call the number three overall pick in the real-life NFL Draft (the highest since Saquon Barkley went second in 2018) a sleeper, but here we are. Jeremiyah Love isn’t the prospect that Ashton Jeanty was last season, but Jeanty’s fall from grace has folks hesitant about clicking the button on Love earlier than the second or third round.”

“Jeremiyah Love (ARI) and a future 2027 1st for Gibbs comes out to a fair price in the current market.”

“The Cardinals kept Conne r on a reworked deal, signed former Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier to what is pretty decent money for a free agent back, then topped it all off by drafting first-round RB Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 pick. I’d say that’s pretty telling about where Benson stands in Arizona.”

“Love has all the talent in the world, and sure, maybe his receiving ability will pay huge dividends, but this is going to be a tough offense to work within to achieve the goals of being a top-10 fantasy football running back. The depth chart includes talent like Tyler Allgeier, who signed a sizable contract, as well as James Conner and Trey Benson.”

“Elite rookies like Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love offer early volume, but managers often overpay for youth or wait multiple seasons for clarity.”

“Love was outstanding in college, averaging 6.9 yards per rushing attempt in back-to-back years, totaling at least 17 rushing touchdowns in both seasons. According to PFF, he averaged 4.5 yards after contact and a 32.7% forced missed tackle rate during his two years as the starter.”

“Jeremiyah Love enters 2026 with the clearest path to immediate fantasy relevance among rookie running backs. The Cardinals spent premium draft capital to make him the centerpiece of their backfield. Love enters the league with three-down credentials. He forced 22% missed tackles, posted a 16% explosive run rate and averaged 3.92 yards after contact at Notre Dame, while adding legit receiving chops that give him a built-in PPR floor.”

“Love is currently ranked as the RB13, ahead of players like Kyren Williams, Breece Hall and Josh Jacobs. All three veteran alternatives have proven they have what it takes to be elite NFL players.”

“Love joins an incredibly crowded backfield with the Cardinals, with James Conner, Tyler Allgeier, Trey Benson and Bam Knight on the depth chart. Even operating under the assumption that Arizona releases or cuts Benson and Knight, that still leaves Love with an uphill battle to climb, and a limited number of potential carries.”

“Love was always going to be the top pick in dynasty rookie drafts, regardless of his NFL landing spot. Unfortunately, the Cardinals were the worst of the four potential landing spots for the former Notre Dame star, as he will play behind a poor offensive line and for a team that will likely have to throw at a high rate in 2026.”
