Javonte Williams Scores Touchdown, Otherwise Quiet In Loss

Sunday, September 13, 8:34 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams handled 12 of the 15 carries the Dallas Cowboys called for running backs in his team's Week 1 loss. He averaged a lowly 3.4 yards per carry, though he did find the end zone once on the ground. He added five catches on five targets for 31 yards and another touchdown, leading to a very productive day in fantasy football. It wasn't enough to lift the Cowboys over their opponent, bitter divisional rival New York Giants, though. Williams remains the workhorse back for his team, and got more receiving work than usual, but didn't find much room to run against what was a poor Giants run defense last season. Another easy defensive matchup on paper is coming in Week 2, when Dallas returns home to play another divisional rival, the Washington Commanders. Look for Williams to be more efficient and log more carries in that game.

Drake London an Enormous Letdown in Season-Opening Loss

Sunday, September 13, 1:25 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught just two of his four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's Week 1 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. London is an incredibly talented receiver, but his fantasy stock took a hit entering this season with uncertainty at the quarterback position. The situation got even worse this week as Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) was ruled out, leaving Cooper Rush as the starter. Rush completed just 12 passes, threw two interceptions, and took four sacks in the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers. There weren't many opportunities to make high-value throws, and that subsequently hurt London's fantasy value. If Tagovailoa plays next week, London might return to the WR2 tier, but we won't feel comfortable with him as a WR2 until Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is cleared to play in the next couple of weeks.
