Dallas fed Williams 287 touches last year and he turned them into 225 points with 11 rushing touchdowns, and the underlying numbers say he earned it the hard way: 25 broken tackles as a runner, third most at the position, plus 2.39 yards after contact per attempt (88th percentile) against a thoroughly average 2.38 before contact. He also ran the most direct path to the line of any qualified back, a pure north-south profile in an offense Vegas ranks fourth in implied totals for 2026. The RB18 price at ADP 36 carries two caveats worth weighing. His receiving was close to worthless, 3.9 yards per reception and a 68.6 percent catch rate that both sit at the bottom of the qualified pool, so the value has to come on the ground. Dallas has also said openly it wants a lighter workload for him this season, with Jaydon Blue, Malik Davis, and Phil Mafah competing for the complementary role. He finished about 15 points under his expected total too, meaning 2025 was not even efficiency-inflated. What you are buying in the third round is a real lead job with a stated plan to trim it.

However, what's primarily in question is who will be backing him up, as Jaydon Blue, Malik Davis, and Phil Mafah are all vying for the role. It appears Dallas, while comfortable with Williams, doesn't want to put the same sort of workload on him again this season as he had in 2025. That could hurt his upside unless he becomes more proficient in the passing game, but on volume alone he should maintain RB2 status.",
