Williams' one-year gamble in Dallas paid off, with his breakout campaign resulting in a three-year, $24 million extension this offseason. Williams' season-ending knee injury from 2022 largely defined his career going into last season, though he seemed to answer any questions about his recovery by averaging 4.8 yards per carry over 252 attempts, figures that register as especially healthy given the frequency of short-range strikes (11 touchdowns). Williams is a trusted pass-protection back almost to the point of detriment to his fantasy upside -- if he weren't leaned on so much in blitz pickup he might have more targets to show for it. The targets Williams does see are often ugly throws under duress or panicked checkdowns, as opposed to dialed-up screens with downfield blocking. In other words, Williams' ugly 2.9 YPT from 2025 might not improve by as much as would normally be expected. His fantasy utility in Dallas thus figures to remain almost entirely owed to rushing production. Good thing, then, that the Dallas interior offensive line is especially well built for run blocking. As well as Williams played in 2025, some of his production can probably be attributed to a favorable environment for rushing efficiency in general.
