Javonte Williams' Floor Elevated by His Hard-Running Style

Wednesday, September 30, 10:00 AM

Following a quiet start to the season in which he averaged less than three yards per carry across the first two games, Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams showed promising signs of a bounceback in Sunday's last-minute loss to the Ravens in Brazil. Adding two short catches to his 98 rushing yards, he topped the century mark for the first time on the year, scoring a rushing touchdown on his way to an RB9 fantasy finish. Most reassuring, though, was the fight he showed through contact, an element that returned to his game in a breakout 2025 season. 62 of Williams' 98 rushing yards on Sunday came after contact, and with the Cowboys offensive line failing to create space in the running game through the first three weeks of the year, his physicality is the key to him remaining in the RB1 conversation. Williams is RotoBaller's RB19 ahead of a difficult Week 4 matchup with the Texans.

Puka Nacua Listed As Limited on Thursday, Says He Practiced In Full

Thursday, October 1, 3:03 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice as the team prepares to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the limited designation, Nacua told the media after practice that he practiced in full, and head coach Sean McVay said Nacua is expected to play in Week 4. The superstar receiver has missed the past two weeks with a hip/groin injury stemming from a psoas issue he dealt with in training camp. When healthy, Nacua has been a monster, averaging 16.3 half-PPR fantasy points in his career. As they prepare to face an elite Philadelphia secondary, fantasy managers should temper expectations for the star receiver if he suits up on Sunday.
