Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He also converted seven targets into six receptions for 33 yards through the air. The veteran running back not only earned significant volume in the overtime victory, but he also showed that he can stay fresh and productive for an entire game. In fact, he has now strung together two impressive games in a row, scoring at least 20 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his contests so far. He's a very solid RB2 option heading into a Week 3 clash with the Chicago Bears, who were just destroyed by the Detroit Lions.

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Monday that they signed free-agent running back Ameer Abdullah to their practice squad and released running back Khalil Herbert from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Abdullah joined the San Francisco 49ers as RB depth in training camp but was eventually cut from Injured Reserve due to a rib injury. The 32-year-old veteran will now head to the AFC South division, where he'll serve as depth behind starter Jonathan Taylor, rookie DJ Giddens, Tyler Goodson (elbow) and Ulysses Bentley. Abdullah will give the Colts 10 years of NFL experience, although it's unlikely that he'll work his way into a fantasy relevant role without multiple Indy backs in front of him going down with injury. In 16 games (three starts) in Vegas in 2024, Abdullah had 311 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 66 carries.
