Can Javonte Williams Replicate 2025 Success in 2026?

Friday, May 1, 12:52 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was one of the surprise success stories of the 2025 season, recording 1,338 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 287 touches across 16 games. The Cowboys rewarded Williams this past offseason with a new three-year, $24 million contract. For the second straight year, Williams figures to play a workhorse role in the Dallas backfield. Behind Williams, the unproven trio of Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah currently projects as the next men up on the team's running back depth chart. While Williams' 2025 production seemingly came out of nowhere, it may simply have been a product of him finally getting back to full health after the devastating knee injury that he suffered in 2022. Williams' value in dynasty formats is on the rise as he enters his age-26 season.

Ray Davis Offers Almost No Standalone Value as a Fading Dynasty Asset

Wednesday, May 6, 5:14 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis was viewed as one of the more valuable handcuffs in the league coming into his second season, but with James Cook handling the largest workload of his career en route to the 2025 rushing title, Davis offered almost nothing to fantasy managers. And when Cook did leave the field, it was more regularly the superior pass-catching Ty Johnson who took his place, limiting Davis to only 275 yards on 58 carries despite suiting up for all 17 games. The Bills brought in no additional running backs through either free agency or the NFL Draft, which could be viewed as a small victory for Davis, but is more likely an indicator that the situation could play out similarly in 2026. With Davis coming into the league as an older prospect, the 2024 fourth-round pick will already turn 27 during his third season, and if he has not already hit waiver wires in dynasty leagues, he is a suitable drop candidate to make room for the incoming crop of rookies.
