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
Rashee Rice
  • “Rice has clearly lost a step (or three) following a clean-up procedure on his right knee this offseason. The primary issue is that the Chiefs aren’t giving Rice as many manufactured looks around the line of scrimmage, preventing him from being the PPR scam he once was. With an ECR ranking of WR23, I’d frantically look to sell.”

    Jim Moorman· Oct 6, 2026
  • “Rice has a 21% target rate per route and 2.45 Y/RR on 58 routes against zone and a 21% target rate per route and 2.45 Y/RR on 42 routes against two-high coverage this season. Since 2024, he has had a 31% target rate per route and 3.26 Y/RR on 263 routes against zone, and a 30% target rate per route and 2.89 Y/RR on 187 routes against two-high coverage.”

    Josh Shepardson· Oct 2, 2026
  • “The issue is the unknown nature of what Rice is outside of the Chiefs franchise. Plus, the addition of Kenneth Walker and the resurgence of Travis Kelce have impacted his overall offensive involvement. Rebuilders should look to trade him due to long-term contract ambiguity and off-field risk.”

    Vernon Meighan· Sep 30, 2026
See 10 more
  • “Watching him live, Rice looks slow and stiff as he gets through his routes. Rice grabbed seven of his nine targets, but he should’ve had the other two as well. One of them was a drop that turned into a Miami interception.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 30, 2026
  • “Rashee Rice was never as talented as his fantasy production would indicate. He racked up points over the last few years thanks to the Chiefs’ half-functional offense. Now that Kansas City has a real running game, Rice’s PPR scam days seem over.”

    Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Rashee Rice ‘s expected fantasy points is a woeful 5.6 per game.”

    Kyle Borgognoni· Sep 21, 2026
  • “Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy . Rice has since turned heads for the wrong reasons in training camp, looking slow. Meanwhile, Worthy sprained his shoulder in early August and returned to practice one week later .”

    Josh Shepardson· Aug 28, 2026
  • “Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Unfortunately, Rice has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this offseason. He served a 30-day sentence for violating his probation.”

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 27, 2026
  • “Second, he hasn’t been on the field enough over the last two seasons to justify his current average draft position (ADP), which hasn’t accounted for several factors. Currently ranked as the WR13 in expert consensus rankings (ECR), Rice is being treated as a low-end WR1.”

    Evan Tarracciano· Aug 26, 2026
  • “3.02: Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Probably the most uncomfortable pick you can make this year is Rashee Rice because you have no idea what you are going to get with him. But Rice’s upside is through the roof.”

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25, 2026
  • “Rice has commanded targets every time the Chiefs have given him a full-time role. Season Period Target Share 2023 Final 10 games with full-time snaps, including playoffs 24% 2024 Three complete games 31.5% 2025 Eight games 26.5%”

    Javier Manzanera· Aug 23, 2026
  • “In eight games last season, Rice recorded: 78 targets 53 receptions 571 receiving yards Five receiving TDs 20 rushing yards One rushing TD That comes out to 9.8 targets and 15.5 half-PPR points per game.”

    Javier Manzanera· Aug 23, 2026
  • “Round 2: Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Rashee Rice is certainly a bit risky with his off-field issues, including serving time in jail earlier this offseason, but when he was on the field last season, he had a staggering 37.”

    Richard Janvrin· Aug 22, 2026
