Javonte Williams
RB
Dallas Cowboys
- Teammate George Pickens (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Giants in the 2026 season.
RB1 = the highest-scoring RB against Giants in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Javonte Williams should do vs the GiantsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Giants, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Javonte Williams has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Giants opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Javonte Williams will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Giants avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Javonte Williams's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Javonte Williams usually produces.
Projected is Javonte Williams's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Giants were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Williams averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Start / Sit · Javonte WilliamsGood confidence · 14.8 proj pts7/10 start
- Javonte Williams averages 17.1 PPR points over 8 games (recent-weighted 15.7) and has played as the team's RB1.
- The Giants have allowed 14.9 points to RB1s over 7 games (-7% vs league). The model applies 70% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a -5% adjustment.
- Last season's average (15.2) is blended in at 20% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 14.8 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level RB scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 20.9.

Prediction & chance to scoreJavonte Williams vs the Giants
Prediction for Javonte Williams
Nobody knows which slot Javonte Williams will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Giants.
I predict about 14.8 points for Javonte Williams if playing as a RB1. Javonte Williams has averaged 17.1 over 8 games, and the Giants have given up 14.9 to RB1s (-7% vs the league average of 16.1).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Javonte Williams scored: Wk 1 24.2, Wk 2 8.0, Wk 3 18.3, Wk 4 31.3, Wk 5 14.2, Wk 6 13.0, Wk 7 21.5, Wk 8 6.7. Average 17.1; weighted toward recent games it is 15.6.
2. The defense. Over 7 games, the Giants allowed 14.9 points to their opponent's RB1. The league average for that slot is 16.1, so that is -7%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 7 defensive games, only 70% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -5% adjustment (x0.95).
4. Result. 15.6 x 0.95 = 14.8. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Javonte Williams is to reach it as a RB1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (14.8) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 8.4 points, leaning on Javonte Williams's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical RB swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 15.
With only 8 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
