News: 2 days agoWilliams carried the ball 19 times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens. He also caught two of three targets for five yards.

Spin: The veteran back gave the Cowboys a 10-0 lead in the first quarter with a two-yard TD plunge, his third trip to the end zone in three games this season, and Williams topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time since Week 12 of 2025. Even with Sunday's strong effort, Williams has managed just 3,9 yards per carry to begin the year, a major downturn from his 4.8 mark in 2025. He'll look to keep building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Williams re-signed with the Cowboys following a successful first year with the team. After failing to produce a top-25 fantasy campaign during his final three seasons in Denver, Williams finished 12th in 2025, setting career-best marks in carries, rushing yards, touches (287), scrimmage yards (1,338) and yards per carry (4.77). He also scored a career-high 13 touchdowns after totaling 16 during his first four campaigns, and his 16 carries inside the 5-yard line were fifth most among backs. That helped offset his receiving struggles, as his 2.7 yards per target was last among qualified RBs. With minimal competition for touches in a high-scoring Dallas offense, the 26-year-old is a solid RB2 target.
