News: 1 day agoWilliams rushed the ball 22 times for 93 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders. He added one reception (on one target) for zero yards.

Spin: Williams topped 20 rushing attempts for the first time this season and turned in an efficient effort. Seven of his 22 carries went for a gain of at least six yards, and he reached 80 rushing yards for the sixth time on the campaign. While it was a solid showing on the field, Williams' fantasy performance was something of a letdown, as he failed to find the end zone and remained uninvolved as a pass catcher. After tallying multiple catches in five of Dallas' first six contests, he has only one reception in four straight contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Williams signed with Dallas after an up-and-down four seasons in Denver. The 2021 second-round pick exploded out of the gate with 1,219 yards and seven TDs as a rookie, but was never able to match either number the following three seasons. Sean Payton's scheme helped Williams to 72 targets (fifth most among RBs) last season, but that wasn't enough for Williams to log his first top-25 fantasy campaign on a per-game basis. Perhaps Brian Schottenheimer can reignite Williams' career (Miles Sanders and fifth-round rookie Jaydon Blue are his only competition for touches), but the 25-year-old is unlikely to emerge as anything more than a flex.
