Javonte Williams Back In RB1 Territory For Difficult Week 4 Matchup

Friday, October 2, 10:13 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams got back on track in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens by rushing 19 times for 98 yards and a touchdown and catching two of his three targets for five yards, finishing his day with 18.3 PPR fantasy points. The Cowboys clear RB1 was inefficient in his first two contests, mustering under three yards per carry across those two contests. With elite Cowboys run-blocking guard Tyler Smith (thumb) still out with an injury, Williams played well in Week 3 despite problems along the offensive line. Dallas will travel to Houston for their Week 4 game, though, and the Texans are one of the toughest defenses in the NFL. Williams' receiving role helps, though he doesn't get an impressive amount of volume through the air by any means. This makes him a boom-or-bust low-end RB1 -- he has the volume to avoid the low end of single-digit scoring outings, but not the pass-catching role to propel him to overall RB1 finishes in any given week. Still, Williams should be locked into starting lineups in all fantasy leagues for the Cowboys' next game.

Emanuel Wilson's Long-Term Value Surging Amid Backfield Injuries in Seattle

Saturday, October 3, 12:09 PM

Three games into the 2026 season, Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson has recorded 32 carries for 109 yards. The 27-year-old has had his usage scaled up of late, leading Seattle in carries each of the team's last two games. With the news on Saturday that the Seahawks have placed rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) on Injured Reserve with a chest injury, Wilson now looks like the clear lead back in Seattle. Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is eligible to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list in Week 5, so Wilson's time as his team's RB1 could be short-lived. Still, with Price now sidelined through at least Week 7, Wilson should maintain a role in the Seahawks backfield even after Charbonnet returns. Wilson should be rostered in all fantasy formats and profiles as a solid flex option in Week 4.
