Javonte Williams News
Monday, July 13, 11:26 AM
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had a resurgent season in 2025, recording 1,338 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 287 touches across 16 games. The Cowboys rewarded him with a new three-year contract in free agency, and Williams enters 2026 as the clear RB1 in Dallas. Williams' 2025 production came as a bit of a surprise after he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry on 356 attempts as a member of the Denver Broncos from 2023 through 2024. As such, Williams could be a regression candidate in 2026. Still, Williams is only entering his age-26 season, and 2025 may have been the first year where he was fully recovered from the devastating knee injury he suffered in 2023. Dallas projects to have one of the better offensive lines in the NFL this upcoming season, and Williams should play a three-down workhorse role for a second consecutive campaign. As the 15th running back off the board by current average draft position in redraft leagues, Williams may be slightly undervalued by fantasy managers entering 2026.

Omarion Hampton News
Monday, July 13, 11:49 AM
After being selected 22nd overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton finished his rookie season with 737 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 156 touches across nine games. The 23-year-old's season was derailed by the left ankle fracture he suffered in Week 5, as it caused him to miss Weeks 6-14, and he dealt with lingering ankle soreness even after his return. However, Hampton should be fully healthy and ready to go entering 2026. He was effective when on the field last season, finishing as the RB13 in per-game PPR scoring. Hampton will also be working with a new offensive coordinator this season in Mike McDaniel, who could help unlock Hampton's upside as both an explosive rusher and a pass-catcher. In dynasty formats, Hampton's value is already very high. Still, he could vault himself into true fantasy superstar status if everything goes according to plan in 2026. Contending dynasty managers may want to explore all-in trade packages for Hampton ahead of a potential breakout campaign.
