Who Should I Start? Mike Davis or Javonte Williams

Monday, February 19, 3:49 PM

Running back Mike Davis officially announced his retirement from professional football on Monday on his X account. "As I turn 31 today, I sit back and look on my NFL career and how thankful I am to be apart of a brotherhood. This game has allowed me to make a lot of friends and memories. I'm grateful for every organization in NFL. With that being said I'm retiring!" Davis wrote. The 31-year-old was initially a fourth-round pick in 2015 by the San Francisco 49ers out of South Carolina. He spent the first two seasons of his career in San Fran before playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens. Davis will wrap up his eight-year career with a total of 558 carries for 2,052 yards (3.7 yards per tote) and 14 touchdowns, adding 171 catches for 1,066 yards and four TDs in the air over 87 games (30 starts).

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams is listed as the team's RB1 on their first depth chart of the 2025 season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Williams is followed on the RB depth chart by Miles Sanders and rookie Jaydon Blue (ankle). Williams saw most of the team's reps with the first-team offense during training camp, so this initial depth chart for Dallas has no surprises. Blue impressed the coaching staff during the summer, but he was never realistically going to enter his rookie season higher than RB3 on the depth chart, and an ankle/heel injury also cost him valuable reps near the end of the preseason. The 25-year-old Williams will get the first shot at lead-back duties in his first year in Dallas, but Sanders and Blue will also be involved, making him no better than a low-upside RB3/flex target in fantasy. Williams hasn't shown the same burst since tearing his ACL in 2022 with Denver.
