RB Javonte Williams, DAL (3 Viewers)

[travdogg]

Comeback player of the year.

I've said that already while trying to trade him straight up for Buka.guy said no...
I'll keep the come back player of the year.

He's coming back from major injures,Jones isn't. It's why he'll win if last the season.

Javonte got hurt in 2022. He's been back from injury for a while. In fact, Jones has actually torn his ACL more recently, as he did it in 2023.

I love this guy but have just been offered Rice for him straight up. Am deep at RB and sort of soft at wr (BTJ and Ladd) but not sure I want to pull the trigger. Love me some JWilly!

I'm actually in your exact boat with a deep rb roster. I offered up Williams for Rice and was declined. With those wrs id jump at this move if I was u.

When I say deep I mean:

Achane
Hampton
Williams
Marks
Charbonnet

Receivers

London
Pickens
Ladd
bTJ
Keenan

Worried that if one of my rbs goes down, I’m suddenly in trouble with byes.

Also, such a small sample size with Rice, but I am a believer.

Edit: Apologies for trade nonsense in the thread, footballguys bromigos. It’s a tough one though!

If you are deep at RB I would probably pull that trigger and take Rice.

EDIT - just saw your WRs and while Ladd and BTJ have been slow to start they will bounce back. Generally I prefer the RB over the WR as they are harder to replace but no doubt long term WR is better value as they play longer.

 

[The Frankman]

Javonte Williams rushed 16 times for 135 yards and one touchdown in the Cowboys’ Week 5 win over the Jets, adding one reception for four additional yards and a touchdown.

Williams’ 135-yard performance marks the first time he’s surpassed the century mark on the ground this season. In fact, it was his first 100-plus yard performance since Week 13 of the 2021 season. Williams saw 66 of his yards come on a breakaway run late in the second quarter that helped put the Cowboys in position for a one-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ferguson before halftime, but Williams would find the end zone a few times of his own in this one. Earlier in the first half, Williams punched in a five-yard score on the ground, and later linked up with Dak Prescott on a four-yard pass for his second and final score in the blowout win. Williams continues to be one of the early steals of fantasy drafts. He’s now averaging 20.2 opportunities per game through the first five weeks of the season and has found the end zone four times. He’ll be a fringe RB1/RB2 in Week 6 against the Panthers.

2 leagues. 2 shares. I'm not just simply tooting my own horn I have just always loved this dude. For now, fully healthy and rolling. I actually looked to move him last week. I've decided I'm just gonna enjoy the ride until he gets hurt.

 

[dcgangstas]

525 total yards from scrimmage and 6 total TDs.

And Jevonte gets Carolina next week. Jeez.

 

[Mitchie]

Guy in my league took him super early thought he was a total moron...

 

[King of the Jungle]

Based on value, he is certainly contender for FF MVP.

 

[Banger]

Ya, definitely top value and biggest surprise to me outside of Daniel Jones. I’ve had Javonte many times on many teams over the years. I thought he was done, I was wrong.

Nick Harris
Cowboys RB Javonte Williams is second in the NFL in rushing (447 yards) and has a career-high five rushing touchdowns, and there’s still 12 games left.

He said outside of the locker room today that this is as confident as he’s been in his entire career:

“I feel like I’m understanding the plays and things a lot better. I’m not just out there running. I actually understand what’s going on.”

HC Schottenheimer on Javonte Williams:

"Javonte's the bell cow. He's earned that."

What can I get for this guy in dynasty? Wr wise

 

[Faust]

Cowboys OC Klayton Adams has helped Javonte Williams shine

 

[Faust]

Should Cowboys extend red-hot Javonte Williams?

 

[Uncle Leo]

They could have extended Rico, so no.

 

[Gatorade]

They could have extended Rico, so no.

They tried, but not hard enough

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Um, is Javonte playing against the Broncos or filming a porn scene with them?

I know the NFL is experimenting with different streaming platforms, but I think simulcasting this game on PornHub may be a bridge too far

Trust me ,Williams is going over 100 yds rushing,bunch of receptions and a 3 TD day in his revenge game.

And you have to think they call a few extra plays for Williams,to help him get a TD or 2 against the team that rejected him if in close.
He'll take away cheap Dak to Fergusons 2 yard pass.
I painfully traded him away this week. But got something good return..

Hope he does well after my trade. Im Big fan of JW. Seems like a good dude.

Traded for him this week. Gave up something big. Hoping he stays around the top 5 for the rest of the year.

What did you guys get/give for Javonte, if you don't mind me asking?

I mean, there is nothing fluky about his production. He's a workhorse in a great offense. The only thing keeping him from being top-5 all season is if the passing game takes so much of the production that there isn't enough left over for him to be top-5, though he's still probably a low-end RB1 in that scenario.

Redraft I gave Gibbs for Javante and Wilson. Steep, but I really need the wr help when Wilson comes back.

 

[FarFromHome]

Crazy that he is only 25. Just feels like he has been around forever already.

Plus with all the injuries he doesn't have the miles a lot of backs his age.

I'm dominating at 9-1 in a league. I concluded in that league that it's time to sell high on him. After targeting a couple of teams with possibilities it hit me. This dude is so young and can absolutely continue this after Dallas resigns him next year. I'm gonna hold I think. Lots of variables, but what is everyone's thoughts on him next year? Dallas 100% signs him to a multi year deal.

That would be the logical thing to do but I worry that Jerry will draft someone like Jeremiyah Love.

It is the Cowboys so who knows. Remember Rico Dowdle had a nice year last year for the Cowboys and they just let him walk for a really cheap back up role with the Panthers and look how well he is still playing.

Yeah this is the concern. Especially since that's now 2 years in a row where they've gotten great production out of dirt cheap RBs after going into the season with everyone mocking them for how bad their RB situation was.

They've taken the "you don't have to pay RBs anything" to the extreme and it's worked 2 years in a row. So will they pay Javonte even if his demands are reasonable? Hopefully, but far from a guarantee and they've learned they don't have to.

They kinda backed into Dowdle though. Like, I wouldn't necessarily call him a success for them, nor would I say they succeeded being cheap at RB in 2024. They brought back Ezekiel Elliott with every intention of him being the starter that year.

I think with Javonte, its a different situation, where they chose him, and he's also done more than Dowdle did.
