Javonte Williams omitted from ESPN's top-10 RB list despite strong season

Javonte Williams, running back for the Dallas Cowboys, was not included in ESPN's top-10 running back rankings for 2026, despite a productive 2025 season where he rushed for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns. The rankings were based on current performance rather than career achievements, leading to speculation regarding Williams' standing among peers. The list features notable names like Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Saquon Barkley, with Williams reportedly landing between 14th and 20th place in the votes. His omission may serve as motivation for the upcoming season, as he aims to further establish his role as a key player in Dallas's offense.
