Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent RB Javonte Williams is looking for a new agent, so talks with club officials are on hold. The team feels he is a priority to re-sign for the 2026 season.
Huddle Up: Williams rushed 252 times for 1,201 yards, 11 touchdowns and 4.8 yards per carry, which were all career bests, as were his 67 first downs. He also added 35 receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Williams could be a decent RB2 or flex fantasy option if he is able to replicate that type of production in 2026, either in Dallas or elsewhere.

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams recorded 25 broken tackles during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL in that category.
Huddle Up: Williams was main running back for the Cowboys this season and ranked in the top 10 in rushing yards (1,201) and rushing touchdowns (11). He is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason and could receive interest from multiple teams. He will likely see a majority of the carries no matter where he plays and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (neck, shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, Jan. 3. He finished the season with a career highs of 1,201 rushing yards, 4.8 rushing yards per carry and 11 touchdowns across 16 games.
Huddle Up: Williams had his first 1,000-yard game for The Star, but he was used differently than in the past. He was more of a change-of-pace back in Denver, while catching the ball more out of the backfield. Heading into 2026, should personnel remain generally the same, he would be an attractive RB2 or flex fantasy play. Jaydon Blue will get a look in Week 18, as Malik Davis is also sidelined for the regular-season finale.

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (neck, shoulder) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and has been ruled out for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Jaydon Blue is in line for a big role in the offense this week with both Williams and Malik Davis ruled out. He has rushed for only 65 yards on 22 carries in his limited playing time this season but can be at least a flex option in most leagues.
