The Dallas Cowboys will visit the Detroit Lions in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Javonte Williams.
Is Javonte Williams Playing in Week 14?
Williams is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Williams in Week 14?
The defense is getting attention for their play (and health) since the bye and it’s warranted. With their improvement has come team success (three straight wins) and thus positive game scripts that has allowed Javonte Williams to get his hands on the ball 20 times in each of those contests.
He was held without a rush TD for a fourth straight game, but he offset that with his second touchdown reception of the season and has quietly seen three targets in consecutive games (two such games in his previous six).
Williams posting his ninth top-20 finish of the season feels inevitable and while he doesn’t profile as the type of back that can single handedly take over a week, he’s a good bet to finish closer to RB10 than RB20 in a spot like this where part of the game plan will be keeping the Lions’ offense off the field.
