Javonte Williams finds the end zone on SNF

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran the ball 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. Williams added nine yards on a pair of receptions.

Why It Matters: Forced to play from behind for much of Sunday night, the Cowboys never got Williams as involved as they would’ve liked. The back finished with 50 yards on 13 touches, both of which set or matched season lows. The silver lining was Williams punching it in for his eighth touchdown of the season. Dallas unquestionably has some playmakers on offense, and Williams is the undisputed lead back in Big D. That affords him RB1 potential each week, though he’s performing more like an RB2 right now — one that’s relying heavily on touchdowns to generate value.
