Javonte Williams immediately served notice in Week 1, hitting the end zone twice for the Dallas Cowboys in their Sunday Night Football clash against the New York Giants. He was flat out their most effective weapon on the field, racking up a team-best 72 yards.
Williams Did It All on Sunday Night
You gotta love seeing a guy get it done in multiple ways, right? Williams toted the rock 12 times, grinding out 41 yards and powering in for a touchdown. But he wasn’t done there. He also snagged five receptions for another 31 yards, turning one of those into a receiving score. That’s 17 touches for 72 yards and two TDs. That’s efficiency, baby!
This Is How a Feature Back Looks
What’s really clear from Week 1 is just how much the Cowboys are leaning on Williams. They trust him. While backups Emari Demercado and Hunter Luepke collectively managed a paltry three carries, Williams was getting fed. This dude is the definition of a featured back in what’s clearly a high-powered offense. He’s not just a guy in the backfield, he’s the guy.
So, what’s next for Williams? Locking him into your lineup, that’s what. He’s already rating as a high-end RB2 or better, and after a Week 1 like that, you know he’s only going to get more opportunities to prove it. Get ready for more fireworks from this guy.
