Javonte Williams scores his seventh touchdown on the season

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams had 12 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Williams also caught two passes (on three targets) for 17 yards.

Why It Matters: When Dallas took the opening kickoff and marched down the field on a drive that ended in a score from Williams it looked like it was going to be a big night from that offense. Instead, the Cowboys wouldn’t reach the end zone again until midway through the fourth quarter. Forced to play before behind, Williams was rarely used in the second half and finished with just 45 yards on the ground. It was a disappointing step backwards from Dallas’ running game after performing well in Weeks 3 and 4. Still, Williams managed to score for the seventh time in five games this year, and he offers low-end RB1 value.
