Javonte Williams

Target share, snap share, and carry share all trended down over the final four games of 2025 despite him holding the RB1 depth-chart spot, and multiple outlets have urged Dallas to manage his workload in 2026 — a signal the bell-cow role could erode week to week.

HC Brian Schottenheimer has publicly labeled Williams Dallas's 'bell cow' for 2026, the team added no draft capital at running back, and the backup mix (Davis, Demercado, Mafah) is depth-only — his path to a heavy workload is about as clear as it gets.

Williams' red-zone role produced roughly 15.5 expected touchdowns against 13 actual scores in 2025, a modest negative variance that positions him for a positive touchdown-regression bounce if his usage holds.
