Javonte Williams vs Kyren Williams

“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.”

“Kyren Williams slotted behind Omarion Hampton and only barely ahead of Jeremiyah Love is, frankly, scandalous. Williams is entering his age-26 season, so he certainly isn’t cooked.”

“Round 3: Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) Kyren Williams was the counter-pick, a player who’s kept sliding further down draft boards each offseason despite finishing as a top-10 running back in fantasy points per game last year. Much of the hesitation traces back to a well-known backfield split with a rookie teammate, but the full-season split was closer to 65-35 in Williams’ favor, not the even split many assume.”

“Drafting Perine robs you of a chance to find the next Kyren Williams—a late-round pick in 2023 who ran for 1,144 yards and scored 15 touchdowns that year.”

“You can likely snag him in the fifth or even sixth round. There, you are landing a player who has finished as the RB10, RB10, and RB2 in fantasy points per game since 2023. If you're still on the fence, know that Williams gets one of the five easiest schedules for running backs.”

“Kyren Williams catches a lot of flak, but much of it seems unwarranted. All the guy does is produce. He has three straight seasons of at least 1,100 rushing yards, 30-plus receptions, and 13 touchdowns. And yet, he's sitting all the way down at RB22 in dynasty rankings.”

“For the fourth straight season, there is a clear runway for Kyren to have another top 10 finish along with 10-plus touchdowns.”

“Corum only had one game above 40 percent of the snaps. Even with this stretch, Williams remained the lead back and was heavily relied on in the playoffs.”

“In points per game, he was two slots lower at RB11, averaging 15.5 points per outing. Williams does add a bit of production in the pass-catching game, which is a plus because Blake Corum doesn't catch the ball. However, when it comes to running the ball, Corum looked like the better option many times.”

“While Kyren Williams ran 259 times for 1,252 yards and 10 touchdowns, and caught 36 passes for 281 yards and three more scores, I believe he's in for a down season. Last season, Williams finished as the RB9 in PPR leagues.”

“Kyren Williams was the RB10 in fantasy points per game last season, marking his third straight year finishing inside the top 15. Blake Corum did eat into his playing time a bit, but Williams still held onto the valuable red-zone role.”

“Williams is valued a bit too highly across dynasty marketplaces for his projection moving forward.”

“Kyren Williams threw his support behind OT Warren McClendon, Jr. and reiterated that he was a staple along the team's offensive line last season. "I learned so much about Warren. I love him as a player and being out there on that field with him when I had the chance this year to do that with him. It was fun because he has that competitive mindset, competitive spirit."”
