Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Gets into end zone in loss
Javonte Williams rushed 17 times for 67 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for no gain in the Dallas Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.Williams put together a workmanlike effort that included his ninth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run early in the third quarter. The veteran back eclipsed the 60-yard mark on the ground for the fourth time in the last five games, although he averaged under 4.0 yards per carry for the second straight contest. Williams also crossed the 1,000-yard mark for the season with Thursday's production, and he'll look to exploit a vulnerable Vikings run defense in a Week 15 Sunday night home matchup on Dec. 14.

Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Eclipses 80-yard mark in loss
Javonte Williams rushed 15 times for 83 yards and brought in his only target for no gain in the Dallas Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. He also lost a fumble and recovered another.Williams ceded just a single rushing opportunity to another running back (Malik Davis) and once again churned out an efficient performance, averaging over 5.0 yards per carry for the fifth time this season. Williams recorded three runs of 10-plus yards along the way, but his fumble at the Cardinals' 37-yard line with just under five minutes remaining and Dallas trying to reduce a 10-point deficit proved costly. The miscue aside, Williams has enjoyed a resurgent first half of his debut Cowboys campaign, and he'll continue in his unquestioned lead-back role in a Week 11 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Nov. 17 following a Week 10 bye.

The 25-year-old kicked off the scoring with a short touchdown scamper on the Dallas Cowboys' opening drive, then proceeded to eat chunks of yardage throughout the contest. Williams is experiencing a true breakout fantasy campaign with a stellar 111-592-6 rushing line off of a career-best 5.3 YPC through seven starts in 2025. The 2021 second-round pick will get a chance to flex his newfound success against the team that drafted him when the Cowboys visit the Broncos next Sunday.

Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Slowed down by Panthers
Javonte Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers. He added five receptions on eight targets for five yards.The Dallas Cowboys were forced into a relatively pass-heavy game script as they kept pace with the Panthers. That limited Williams to a season-low 13 carries, but the primary issue was his lack of efficiency. Williams' longest rush went for only six yards, and his longest reception was good for only nine yards. The positive takeaway is that Williams earned 18 touches and the next closest Dallas back (Jaydon Blue) had only three. Williams should have a strong chance to bounce back in Week 7 against Washington.
