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 .”

“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
“So far this season, according to the Fantasy Points Data Suite, Nabers has a 25.6% target share on all routes run and averages 0.45 fantasy points per route. This week he is up against Amik Robertson . I do feel bad for name-checking Robertson every week in this column .”
Adam Murfet· Oct 8, 2026“Nabers is coming off a good game, opening the door to selling him high. Daniel Jones has played poorly this year, and Alec Pierce ‘s absence is concerning for Jonathan Taylor ‘s outlook. In 17 games with Pierce since 2025, Taylor has recorded 96.1 rushing yards per game, 4.9 yards per carry and 20.58 half-PPR points per game.”
Josh Shepardson· Oct 10, 2026“He is coming off his best game of the season, but let’s be honest with ourselves here: going into the week, you would have loved to be fielding offers for Nabers with the situation the Giants’ offense was facing and the different injuries Nabers was dealing with as well. Now he has his big game, and lets not revert back to holding again, lets take our blessing and sell, sell, sell. I would look to grab someone like a Tetairoa McMillan who just had a monster game, but could easily fool owners into a sell-high situation himself.”

“Here’s the thing: Malik Nabers is not back to full health yet. He’s near the bottom of the league in separation score this season and is sitting behind Isaiah Likely in target share. With every passing week, Nabers should be inching closer to his old self.”
Jim Moorman· Oct 6, 2026“As a result of Winston getting back to slinging it, Malik Nabers had six receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and Isaiah Likely had seven receptions for 66 scoreless yards on 12 targets. Winston’s showing provides gamers with hope for Nabers and Likely. That said, it may be best to use this as a selling window for Nabers.”
Josh Shepardson· Oct 5, 2026“Winston was trying to keep it simple by going to his first read at the seventh-highest rate, and even though Malik Nabers was the first read on 37% of plays, it counted for nothing because of the poor weather and the crowded area the ball was thrown into. We have to face the fact that this could be another lost season for Nabers, who hasn’t yet reached 10 half-PPR points in any game. The Cardinals’ pass defense ranks 30th in EPA allowed and has given up the 12th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to wide receivers.”
Tom Strachan· Sep 30, 2026“If you drafted Nabers expecting a weekly WR1, there is plenty of reason to panic. I’m not selling him for scraps, and I’m not outright dropping him, but he’s fallen into risky FLEX territory. On the plus side, the Giants have three favorable matchups coming up.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 29, 2026“Nabers was targeted on four occasions in the loss , missing a handful of snaps due to – what later turned out to be – a dislocated shoulder…and this is what concerns me way more than who happens to be throwing the former first-round pick the ball for the rest of the year. With Dart out, you could be forgiven for proclaiming this an already lost season for John Harbaugh’s men – so would it be crazy to suggest they may just shut down their star WR to save any more damage being done for little to no gain?”
PaulMarnie· Sep 26, 2026“Stack Idea: Dart + Nabers + Kyren + Mevis Malik Nabers $13,500 Nabers is my lower-owned CPT alternative, as I currently have him at just under 10%. He caught six passes for 69 yards in his return last week, and his projected CPT ownership is less than half Dart’s. I want some lineups where the Giants’ biggest receiving performance belongs to Nabers, with Dart collecting the passing points in FLEX.”
Chris Cash· Sep 21, 2026“Nabers ran a route on 24 of those 36 snaps and quickly commanded nine targets.”
Nate Henry· Sep 15, 2026“Malik Nabers (WR – NYG) Going as the WR11, around the 27th overall pick, Nabers has shown real positive injury progression, moving out of the no-contact jersey and into full team drills.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 28, 2026“Malik Nabers completely avoided the PUP list this offseason and has been trending towards starting the season as close to completely healthy as anyone could have hoped for. Nabers is still a potential value at his current ECR and ADP, as it was at this time just a year ago, when he was a popular first round draft target.”
Raju Byfield· Aug 23, 2026“At the start of the offseason, this was a no-brainer selection for “riskiest player to draft.” After all, Malik Nabers could barely hobble to first base in a friendly kickball game.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 21, 2026
