Javonte Williams
RB - Dallas Cowboys - Questionable
Availability
Javonte Williams was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Williams suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's game, but he opens the week on the injury report with a neck issue. He should still be good to go this weekend.
Javonte Williams overcame an injury scare to deliver a productive outing in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, rushing 15 times for 91 yards and a touchdown. The veteran found the end zone on the Cowboys' opening possession but was forced to the locker room shortly after absorbing a hard hit to his shoulder.
Fantasy Impact
Although deemed questionable initially, Williams missed the remainder of the first half before returning to the lineup to start the third quarter. His ability to bounce back and produce efficiently underscores the success he has found on a one-year contract this season, setting the stage for meaningful free agency discussions this spring.
Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return against the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Williams suffered the injury early in the first quarter and has not returned to the game after scoring Dallas’ first touchdown. Malik Davis will see the bulk of the touches forward if Williams is unable to return.
Javonte Williams reached a significant career milestone during Thursday night's 44-30 loss to the Lions, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards for the season. The veteran back finished the evening with 17 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown, while adding two catches for zero yards on four targets.
Fantasy Impact
While his efficiency dipped below 4.0 yards per carry for the second consecutive week, Williams remained a steady producer, clearing 60 rushing yards for the fourth time in his last five outings. His one-yard score in the third quarter was his ninth of the year. He will look to build on that total against a suspect Vikings run defense in Week 15.
Javonte Williams rushed 17 times for 59 yards while also catching all three of his targets for 21 yards and one touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact
Williams continues to benefit from his role as the No. 1 option out of the Dallas backfield, recording over 80 offensive yards in each of his last four games. The running back offers fantasy managers a mostly stable RB2 option with upside ahead of a Week 14 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
