Lead back / RB1 in Dallas on new 3yr/$24M deal; workhorse role secure vs RB2 battle (Blue/Mafah/Davis); O-line uncertainty caps ceiling.

Javonte Williams ripping off big runs in Cowboys campDraft Sharks

Strong camp following career year in 2025; Dallas Morning News reports Cowboys won't play him much in preseason.

Strengths & concerns
Pros / cons +

Pros

  • Clear bell-cow role, no draft-added RB competition
  • Pass-friendly, fast-tempo scheme boosts receiving-down work
  • Fully recovered from 2022 knee injury
  • New 3yr deal signals organizational investment

Cons

  • O-line below-average and unsettled (Martin gone, Guyton struggling, Hennessy PUP)
  • Multi-ligament knee injury history = residual tail-risk
  • RB2 battle could chip into passing-down/goal-line work
  • New team/scheme fit unproven
Why our rank differs from ADP
disagree higher

Camp reports confirm him as clear RB1 with no real committee threat; earlier committee read was a model error.

Full breakdown +

- First unofficial 2026 depth chart and multiple camp reports name Williams the outright starter, not part of a rotation - Jaydon Blue (shoulder) and Phil Mafah (chest) are both banged up and getting limited camp reps - Schottenheimer is expanding his role, including designed screen-game usage - Re-signed 3yr/$24M ($16M guaranteed) in Feb 2026, signaling organizational commitment - 2025: 252 carries, 1,201 total yards, 11 TD, 35 catches -- bounce-back lead-back production
