Javonte Williams Rushing & Receiving Yards Pick for Packers vs. Cowboys

Javonte Williams and the Dallas Cowboys will face off against the Green Bay Packers in tonight’s Week 6 Sunday Night Football matchup.

The Cowboys have slipped to 2-3 on the year and will need a victory to remain in sole possession of second place in the NFC East following today’s Philadelphia Eagles loss. Dallas is coming off a disappointing loss of their own last week. This came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers without Baker Mayfield, and this is an important matchup for Dallas as they hope to get back on track for the season.

The Packers enter as narrow 1.5-point home favorites with -115 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Cowboys hold -105 odds of getting the outright win, with the game total set at O/U 53.5 points.

There are plenty of ways to get involved. Check out the game preview and more on DraftKings Network. For now, here’s my top Javonte Williams prop bet for Sunday Night Football.

Javonte Williams Best Rushing & Receiving Yards Pick vs. Packers

Javonte Williams to Record 100+ Combined Rushing & Receiving Yards (+150)

The Dallas Cowboys lean on their passing game as the primary identity of their offense, but Javonte Williams has established himself as the lead running back in this high-powered attack. He has recorded 74 rushing attempts through five games, with Dak Prescott the only other Cowboy to record double-digit carries this season.

Williams is averaging 55.2 rushing yards per game, totaling 276 yards on the ground. He has also found the end zone six times as a runner. The North Carolina product has contributed in the passing game as well, recording at least two receptions in each of his first five games. He has added 94 receiving yards, bringing his total to 370 yards from scrimmage.

Although Williams has surpassed 100 combined rushing and receiving yards just once this season, the matchup against Green Bay offers a favorable opportunity. The Packers have had difficulties slowing opposing rushing attacks, creating a potential opening for Dallas to establish its ground game. Green Bay enters this game ranking 24th in total rushing yards allowed and 30th in rushing touchdowns conceded. The 53.5-point game total also suggests the potential for an active offensive contest, which could provide Williams with additional opportunities to contribute. The Packers have also been extremely vulnerable to opposing running backs through the air. They have allowed 20 receptions to opposing running backs, including Breece Hall recording as many as 63 yards through the air against them.

Williams has logged 76.9% of the offensive snaps so far this season and recorded 19 or more carries in two of the past three weeks. This is a matchup in which both sides should be expected to move the football and for plenty of scoring across the board. Opportunity is the greatest indicator of production, and there is no major threat to eat into Williams’ role in the offense. He has tallied 70.7% of the offensive snaps or more in all five games, including as many as 85.0%, which occurred in the previous game.

The standard combined rushing and receiving line is set at 87.5 yards on DraftKings Sportsbook for Williams. But I am pushing the total even higher and backing Williams to crack 100 yards for the second time this season.
