Javonte Williams Still Penciled Into Workhorse Role

Thursday, March 19, 8:20 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams remains the workhorse option heading into the 2026 season. Williams enjoyed a career resurgence during his first season in Dallas, totaling 1,201 rushing yards, 137 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns. He was the overall RB12 in PPR leagues, setting the best mark of his career to this point. For his efforts, Williams was rewarded with a three-year, $24 million contract that assures he's the Cowboys' primary ball-carrier for years to come. We do expect Jaydon Blue to get more involved going forward, but he's more of a change-of-pace and handcuff. Blue isn't going to threaten Williams' role in 2026. As a result, Williams remains a fringe top-12 fantasy running back with tremendous touchdown upside in a high-scoring Cowboys offense. It doesn't make sense to buy Williams at his elevated price in dynasty leagues, but it's also too early to sell high on him. He's firmly in the "hold" range this offseason.

Cam Skattebo News

Cam Skattebo Thinks he'll be 100 Percent Healthy in a Little Over a Month

Monday, March 16, 8:03 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) said on the Rich Eisen Show last week that he probably has "a little over a month left" until he's "fully back to 100%." Skattebo added that he ran at around 75% intensity for the first time last week. The 24-year-old said he's doing a little more than a jog while striding out, and he also fully expects to be ready to roll for training camp this summer after suffering a gruesome right-ankle injury in late October that ended what had been a promising rookie season in 2025. Injury aside, Skattebo said new head coach John Harbaugh's offense fits his skill set as an RB perfectly, so the Arizona State alum has high hopes for his second year in the NFL and beyond. There have been rumors circulating that the Giants want to add a high-profile RB in either free agency or the draft, signaling that they might be worried about Skattebo's long-term durability. Skattebo averaged 4.1 yards per carry and had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries in his first eight NFL games before his injury. His 2026 fantasy value will depend on what the Giants do in the draft at the position, but right now, he sits atop the depth chart.
