|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Javonte Williams  |
RB | DAL | 24 | 3 | RB - #30 |
| Javonte Williams stayed healthy and got a career-best 264 touches but there are serious concerns about his viability moving forward.

Additionally, Johnston was not drafted by the current regime, so he may have a much shorter leash than other... Read More | |||||
