The Dallas Cowboys made a deliberate, forward-thinking move this offseason by letting Rico Dowdle walk and signing Javonte Williams to a one-year deal. Dowdle's cap hit in Carolina is slightly cheaper, but his running back efficiency is less than Williams's. The Cowboys' front office and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer have a bigger, more efficient picture in mind. They want a younger, more physical running back who fits the team's evolving ground-and-pound identity - and Javonte Williams delivers exactly that.
From the emergence of now-key fantasy starters to the multi-week injury to CeeDee Lamb, the Cowboys' rankings here have done nothing but fluctuate. That will stay true this week, as well, considering their Week 5 showing against the Jets, and what the Carolina Panthers bring to the table. So, without further ado, let's get into ranking the Dallas Cowboys, from a fantasy perspective, as the team heads into Charlotte for a critical Week 6 matchup. As Rico Dowdle said this week, we ought to buckle up.
