Expert takes

Javonte Williams
  • “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
See 9 more
  • “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
Lamar Jackson
  • “Jackson, 29, has missed games due to five different injuries (two ankle issues to go with knee, hamstring and back problems) since 2021. He also did not look himself for a while following the 2025 hamstring issue, and the Ravens needed Huntley — brought back because of Cooper Rush ’s struggles in the QB2 role last season — again when Jackson sustained the back injury late last season. Although Jackson’s injury issues bring obvious concern given his play style, the Ravens armed their top player with extraordinary leverage this offseason by restructuring his deal .”

    Sam Robinson· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Lamar Jackson | QB, Baltimore Ravens (OUT) Lamar Jackson is recovering from an ankle sprain that has been described as “neither low nor high.” Timelines for recovery have been all over the place, but a one or two-week absence appears to be the consensus. Tyler Huntley is the backup and will step in for Jackson.”

    Jonathan Lange· Oct 10, 2026
  • “Ravens Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is the focal point of OC Declan Doyle ‘s offense, with HC Jesse Minter noting that he and Jackson were looking forward to working together as a group.”

    Wyatt Grindley· Sep 27, 2026
See 10 more
  • “In both of his matchups with the Cowboys, Jackson has run for 181 yards and a TD.”

    Julia Papworth· Sep 25, 2026
  • “Lamar Jackson has a massive ceiling in what projects to be a high-scoring matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas was getting torched by Jayden Daniels before he went down with an injury, which bodes well for Jackson’s outlook in this spot. With his ability to make plays through the air and on the ground, Jackson has the potential to put up a monster performance here.”

    Frank Ammirante· Sep 25, 2026
  • “But Jackson has looked far more like his electric self at the start of this season than he did in 2025. By the end of the season, he should be right up next to (OK, maybe behind) Allen as a top-tier fantasy quarterback.”

    Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Unfortunately, Jackson had arguably his worst season as a starter in 2025. He missed four games because of injury and played part of the year hurt. The superstar finished as the QB14 on a points-per-game basis among qualifying quarterbacks, averaging 19.8 fantasy points per contest. However, I expect a bounce-back season for Jackson, especially with Declan Doyle taking over as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator.”

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 16, 2026
  • “If Lamar Jackson can bounce back, Henry could inch back closer to his 2024 production (RB4 in fantasy points per game).”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5, 2026
  • “With plenty of time to recover from last season, Jackson is a ticking time bomb for fantasy production.”

    Ellis Johnson· Jul 23, 2026
  • “Jackson's 2025 performance was marred by injury and a subpar level of play (by his standards). Therefore, while he has tremendous leverage by virtue of the restructure and the $84.34MM cap number it created for 2027, he may want to come to the negotiating table on the heels of a better season.”

    Rory Parks· Jul 12, 2026
  • “Jackson mentioned that Doyle is running a completely different system from what Todd Monken deployed last season, while there are some concepts from what Greg Roman ran in 2022. Jackson expects more "explosiveness" this season, and Doyle is proving to be a very creative playcaller. "I feel like there's going to be a lot of explosiveness this year," Jackson said. "The way Declan calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it's mind-blowing. I'm excited."”

    Tony Camino· Jul 10, 2026
  • “It was only a season ago that we saw Jackson finish as the QB1 with 425 fantasy points. That was his second time surpassing 400 fantasy points, a threshold that Allen has never exceeded.”

    Ellis Johnson· Jul 10, 2026
  • “Over his final eight starts, Jackson was the QB29 in fantasy points per game (11.9). He completed just 57.6% of his passes (28th) with 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He had the highest inaccurate throw rate in the league over that span (15.8%).”
