Javonte Williams Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Cowboys carried only two active RBs (plus FB Hunter Luepke) into Thursday night's game against the Eagles, and Javonte Williams dominated the work. He played 47 (of 61) offensive snaps vs. just 11 for No. 2 RB Miles Sanders. Williams also carried 15 times to Sanders' four and ran 27 pass routes to Sanders' 3, according to Pro Football Focus. Williams tallied a 15-54-2 rushing line in the loss, adding 2 receptions for 10 yards on three targets.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter got ejected before the first offensive snap of Thursday night's game against the Cowboys after he spit on QB Dak Prescott. Carter approached the Dallas huddle to apparently talk some trash, Prescott stepped forward, and the camera caught Carter spitting on the QB's jersey.

Dallas Cowboys' rookie RB Jaydon Blue will not play in the Cowboys' season opener on Thursday in Philadelphia.

The Dallas Cowboys listed Javonte Williams as the starting RB on their first depth chart of the season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Miles Sanders was listed as RB2, with rookie Jaydon Blue as RB3.

Cowboys’ RB Miles Sanders, who had been sidelined with a knee issue, returned to practice on Tuesday, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.

Rookie RB Jaydon Blue took reps with the Cowboys' first-team offense during Wednesday’s practice, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Cowboys RB Phil Mafah has caught the eye of HC Brian Schottenheimer since the pads went on in training camp. "The guy Phil Mafah... I'm starting to feel him," Schottenheimer said. "I'm starting to feel Phil."

The Cowboys signed RB Miles Sanders to a one-year deal. He joins Javonte Williams in a backfield that lost 2024 lead back Rico Dowdle in free agency. We're still fully expecting Dallas to add more RB help in the draft considering Sanders and Williams are coming off disappointing 2024 seasons.

The Cowboys have agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with RB Javonte Williams (plus another $500K available in incentives). Williams spent his first four seasons with the Broncos, losing nearly all of 2022 to a multi-ligament knee injury.

Broncos RB Audric Estime is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Bills. RB Tyler Badie is active for the first time since Week 4. He joins Jaleel McLaughlin and Javonte Williams in the backfield. McLaughlin remains the top fantasy play, although Estime's absence probably gives the biggest boost to Williams.

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) is not listed on the final injury report and will be back for Saturday's game vs. the Bengals. Denver figures to deploy at least a three-RB committee with McLaughlin, Javonte Williams, and Audric Estime in that one. We'll see if RB Blake Watson stays involved. And WR Marvin Mims has also been getting backfield work lately. It's a RB group to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice report. He's on track to return for Saturday's game vs. the Bengals. RB Audric Estime impressed with McLaughlin out last week, but it was McLaughlin who was emerging as the best fantasy bet in Denver's backfield before the quad injury. This is a tough backfield to project in Week 17, making it a situation to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Despite RB Jaleel McLaughlin's absence, the Broncos stuck with a three-man committee backfield in Thursday night's loss to the Chargers. RB Audric Estime led the way with nine carries for 48 yards and a score. But he played just 13 offensive snaps -- 20 fewer than RB Javonte Williams and three more than RB Blake Watson. Williams finished with four carries and a team-high 11 targets, while Watson tallied four carries and two targets. The Broncos even used WR Marvin Mims in the backfield for five snaps.

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers. That turns this from a three-man committee to a two-man committee, raising the ceilings and floors on both RB Javonte Williams and RB Audric Estime. It's still a backfield we'd rather avoid in fantasy lineups, but Williams lands inside the top 35 RBs in the Week 16 Rankings.

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Colts with a quad injury. McLaughlin was leading Denver RBs with seven carries and 21 rushing yards when he exited. His absence leaves the backfield to Javonte Williams and Audric Estime.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams rushed a team-leading 9 times for 59 yards and 1 score in Sunday’s win over Atlanta. Audric Estime mixed in with 6 attempts for 16 yards.

Broncos HC Sean Payton said Monday that RB Audric Estime will get more work going forward. We got a similar report from CBS' Tracy Wolfson on Sunday morning. Estime finished the loss to the Ravens with five carries -- and those all came in the fourth quarter.

CBS' Tracy Wolfson reports that Broncos RB Audric Estime is expected to be more involved in today's game vs. the Ravens. The rookie has just 10 carries across four games this season, so "more involved" is a low bar to clear. Estime isn't a viable Week 9 fantasy play. But this report is another reason to shy away from RB Javonte Williams today against Baltimore's eighth-ranked RB defense.
