Javonte Williams vs. ARI is a smash spot in Week 8. He's coming off the highest rushing total of his career on Monday night (155 yards), is tied for the league lead with nine total TDs, and has scored in every game but one. The Cardinals are a middling defense, and game script should favor the Dallas workhorse. Williams has 17 carries from inside the 5-yard line, more than any other back.

Williams rushed for a career game against the Eagles, with the Cowboys offensive line dominating to create running lanes; the source emphasizes establishing Williams early against the Cardinals (who rank 23rd in rush defense, allowing 4.6 yards per carry) as the key to offensive balance and winning formula. Rapid-fire prediction: Dyllan calls him 'a safe bet' to score first; over/under on 91.5 rush yards sees consensus over from Jorge, Dyllan, and Sean.
