Javonte Williams Should Bounce Back in Week 9

Saturday, November 7, 4:34 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams will look to bounce back after giving fantasy managers a dud last week. Williams carried the ball 24 times for 56 yards during last week's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 24 carries were the second-most for Williams this season, but the 2.33 yards per carry won't get the job done. He also saw his touchdown streak come to an end after he scored in five straight games coming into last week's game. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back performance from Williams in Week 9. He'll face an Indianapolis Colts defense, which ranks 27th in the league in rushing yards allowed. Williams is ranked as Rotoballer's RB5 and is a must-start against the Colts defense this weekend.

Bijan Robinson Remains a Must-Start Against Bengals in Madrid

Saturday, November 7, 9:05 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 19 times for 76 scoreless yards in last week's loss to the Bucs, and was held catchless for the first time since the 2023 season. Let's just chalk that one up to bad weather and poor quarterback play, and expect things to get back to normal this week for the team's matchup against the Bengals in Madrid, Spain. Though Cincinnati has a solid run defense by various metrics, the unit ranks near the bottom in terms of yards allowed per rush attempt, yielding the fourth-most in the NFL (4.8 yards/rush). Robinson, who is averaging 5.2 yards per rush (fourth-most), should be able to take advantage this week, and in a game that has the highest projected point total on the slate (52.5), expect the former Longhorn to be a big reason why it is so high. The 24-year-old ranks as the No. 3 running back overall in Week 9 at RotoBaller, so season-long and DFS managers should feel confident slotting him in as a high-floor, high-ceiling RB1.
