Wide Receiver Rank: #15
Overall: #57
A trade to the Cowboys was supposed to boost Williams' numbers. Instead, he finished with more receiving yards in five games with the Lions than in 10 with the Cowboys. Williams wasn't much of a factor in the Cowboys offense, getting few targets from week to week. He should be a bigger factor this season, though, as he learns the offense and gets used to working with Tony Romo. Williams is likely to be the top target for the Cowboys with Terrell Owens gone. He can rebound from a disappointing '08. Williams is a top athlete. He is big (6-3), very strong with good speed and isn't afraid to make the tough catch.

Williams has just one 1,000-yard season under his belt, so don't overvalue him. But he can be a 1,000-yard receiver with seven touchdowns in the Cowboys offense as their top option. Take him has a No. 2 receiver for your team. He is a good buy-low candidate after flopping last season. |

| Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said he is confident that WR Roy Williams will play better next season than he did in 2009. 'You look at how he came early and stayed late, tried to improve, looked for ways to maximize his value,' Jones said. 'All of those things are a major consideration. His contract is a major consideration. You look at that. Do you compromise your football team? No. No. I've done far more than that financially in thinking at the time I've compromised the football team. I do not think that is the case with Roy as I sit right here. I do not think that is the case. We've got a player that has the will and has the ability.' |

| Calvin Watkins, of ESPNDallas.com, reports Dallas Cowboys WR Roy Williams is upset that he was targeted only once during Dallas' 34-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Jan. 17. 'I didn't get a ball today, and I didn't get a look at today. It just happens,' Williams said. 'It's frustrating. It pisses me off, especially when we lose and especially when I feel like I have a mismatch. I got a 5-10 corner [covering me, Antoine Winfield], but hey, you know, I will continue to work hard in the offseason and it will come back around.' When Williams was asked if the Cowboys called any plays for him, Williams told ESPNDallas.com, 'No. Hell no.' |
