Williams gained 29 yards on eight carries and 31 yards on five receptions in Thursday's preseason opener against the Chargers. Not a bad start in Dallas for Williams, who is hoping to push Joseph Randle for the No. 3 running back role. The Cowboys have an excellent offensive line and a pair of running backs with durability issues, so there is some deep league appeal here with the former second-round draft pick.
