Javonte Williams Excited About Cowboys' Offense in 2026

Friday, August 14, 8:39 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had a career year in his first season in Dallas in 2025, rushing for a career-high 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns to earn a three-year, $24 million contract extension with the team in February. Going into his second season with the Cowboys, Williams is excited about the potential of the offense, according to Tommy Yarrish of the team's official website. "Just a whole other level of maturity," Williams said of Dallas' offense this year. "I feel like we hit the ground running. We didn't really start from the ground up, we just kind of built on what we could've done better last year. I feel like we're executing and communicating well." Personally, Williams said his conditioning is in a better place as he heads into his second year in Dallas and his sixth year in the NFL. In one of the league's highest-scoring offenses, Williams should carry a high fantasy floor as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 in 2026.

TreVeyon Henderson Still Has Work to Do in Patriots Backfield

Wednesday, August 12, 11:18 AM

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson still has some details to clean up as he enters his second season. Boston Sports Journal believes Rhamondre Stevenson has been the more dependable option between the tackles and on passing downs this summer, specifically pointing to Henderson's blitz pickup, vision and patience. Head coach Mike Vrabel offered a more encouraging assessment, saying some of those reads are starting to slow down for Henderson as he gets better at understanding what a run could look like a few strides after the snap. Henderson was explosive as a rookie, rushing for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries while adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another score. His role did shrink during New England's playoff run, when Stevenson handled considerably more of the offensive snaps. Henderson's speed and big-play ability aren't the issue. If the processing and protection continue to improve, there should be more ways for the Patriots to keep him on the field in 2026.
