Javonte Williams Faces Packers' Stout Run Defense in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has quietly been a fantasy force, averaging just under 20 points per game, but this week, fantasy managers might want to temper expectations. After a hot start, Williams faces a tricky matchup against the Green Bay Packers, a team that has been stout against the run, and will also have to navigate Micah Parsons' relentless pass-rushing presence. Despite the challenge, Williams remains a viable flex option in most formats. The 25-year-old overcame a fumble in the first possession against the Bears and averaged 7.6 yards per carry in last Sunday's loss. Against the Bears, Williams carried the ball 10 times for 76 yards while catching all five targets for 16 yards, showing the team's trust in him. Even with Miles Sanders receiving nine carries last week, Williams will still see plenty of work in the Cowboys' backfield. While his workload remains healthy, the combination of a tough matchup and an aggressive defense makes Week 4 a more challenging slate for fantasy managers hoping for a big breakout from Williams. The former Denver Bronco comes in as RB29 in the latest RotoBaller ranks, making him a FLEX play in a tough matchup this week.
