Javonte Williams Records Second 100-Yard Rushing Game in Week 7

Monday, October 20, 12:17 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season in the Week 7 victory over the visiting Washington Commanders on Sunday. In the 44-22 win, Williams was dominant on the ground, going for 116 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries (6.1 yards per carry). It was the 25-year-old's second game in 2025 with over 100 rushing yards, and it was a nice bounce-back effort after he had a season-low 29 ground yards on 13 carries in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He added just one catch on four targets for a gain of two yards. Williams showed his bruising style of play and was able to pick up chunk gains out of the backfield against a weak Commanders defense on Sunday. He is averaging over 5.0 yards per tote in his first year in Dallas and is well on his way to a breakout in his fifth NFL season in Dallas' high-scoring offense. Williams has become a must-start RB2 in fantasy, but it could be tough sledding against his old team, the Denver Broncos, in a Week 8 showdown.

Jaydon Blue Should Remain Off of Fantasy Radars in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 12:36 PM

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue has seen his first NFL game action over the last two weeks, but he's yet to play a significant role in the team's offense. Through two games, Blue has recorded seven rushing yards on seven carries and has not been targeted by Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. With veteran Cowboys back Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) on Injured Reserve, Blue figures to have an extended run as the team's RB2 behind Javonte Williams. Still, it would appear that the team does not currently trust Blue to do much beyond give Williams the occasional play off. That seems unlikely to change in a crucial divisional matchup in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Blue maintains long-term fantasy appeal as a handcuff, but he's not startable for fantasy managers in Week 7.
