Coming off an RB12 finish in PPR formats with just 35 total receptions, I think there's potential for Williams to finish as a top-six back in 2026 with a bigger receiving role.

Williams gains opportunity with Blue cut; projects as top-six back with bigger role.

Javonte Williams was always projected for a heavy workload in 2026, but with Jaydon Blue recently cut, things are looking even better. Blue was one of the better receiving backs in college with route nuance and body control, while Williams posted a dismal 0.40 yards per route run (YPRR) last season and was one of the least efficient receiving backs in the NFL. Behind Williams on the depth chart are Malik Davis, Hunter Luepke, and Emari Demercado. Jim Moorman likes Williams' odds to be the third-down back this season. Coming off an RB12 finish in PPR formats with just 35 total receptions, Moorman believes there's potential for Williams to finish as a top-six back in 2026 with a bigger receiving role. Williams is contracted through 2028 with no potential "out" for Dallas until after 2027. Moorman ranks him dynasty RB18 and would give up a late 2027 first-round rookie pick for him on contending teams.
