Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Javonte Williams

Declining YPRR for three straight years and premium pricing make Williams a risky dead-zone RB.

Hartitz pitched Williams as a potential top-15 RB if he stays healthy for 17 games, citing the Cowboys' offensive strength and red-zone opportunity potential. However, he expressed concern about chasing him at premium prices when he went in the eighth round last year. More critically, Hartitz highlights a concerning trend: Williams' yards per route run have decreased for three consecutive seasons, raising durability and efficiency concerns that make him a dead-zone RB despite the improved talent pool this year. Hartitz struggles to paint a picture where Williams stays healthy for 17 games, and the declining efficiency metrics compound the risk.
