Rotational role for Javonte Williams?

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams will likely be 'strictly in a rotational role' this season, in the opinion of ESPN's Bill Barnwell, who adds that there's a 'slim-but-plausible chance' that Williams doesn't even make the 53-man roster out of camp. Williams signed a one-year, $3 million deal with Dallas, but only $1 million of that is guaranteed.

"The Cowboys have to find a reliable ground game for Schottenheimer's system to work, and Williams will get the first crack at the role."

We'll have to see how training camp plays out, but for now it appears Williams is in pole position for the Cowboys' lead running back job. It's possible that a change of scenery and another year to recover from a devasting 2022 knee injury are what Williams needs to deliver on his early-career promise. He's still only 25 years old.

Williams wasn't a great fit in Sean Payton's run offense, failing to hit creases with the timing necessary for success. Injury, confidence, and committee contributed to Williams' unfulfilled fantasy promise.  

Dallas offers a fresh start, but the offensive line is still a weakness, and the additions of Miles Sanders, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah give this position room the feel of an open tryout. 

On paper, Williams is the wisest choice, but he has enough of a floor that the other three could be juggling roles and competing for touches all year. Dallas is a boom-bust running back situation. My advice: take the cheapest option either just above or just below Sanders on the depth chart in August.
