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.

George Holani a Risky Play Despite Increased Role in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 5:45 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani (ribs) is a risky play in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) is slated to miss this matchup. Holani should see a decent amount of passing game usage, but he will likely cede rushing volume to Emanuel Wilson. This will be the Holani and Wilson show all game long, but it is difficult to trust Holani despite this being a neutral matchup for running backs in fantasy. Additionally, Seattle figures to be ahead for much of this matchup. As such, Holani's passing game usage could be capped. Until Week 3, in which the Seahawks played from behind for much of the game, Holani had not exceeded more than one reception in a game. Wilson is definitely the preferred Seahawks running back in Week 4. Leave Holani on waivers this week.
