Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The veteran cornerback put up huge numbers in his final season with Jacksonville: 19 passes defended, four interceptions and 53 tackles, all while playing in every game for the third time in four seasons. Williams chose to return to the Rams for his second stint with the team, as the 31-year-old signed a three-year deal to replace Ahkello Witherspoon and form a new-look secondary alongside another new face in Tre'Davious White. Former starting corners Quentin Lake and Cobie Durant are returning for the Rams, but Williams should be locked into a starting role as the team's alpha at the position. Read Past Outlooks
Hopeful for Week 5 return
Head coach Sean McVay said Friday "the hope" is Williams (hamstring) will be ready to return from injured reserve and play Week 5 against the Packers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams will need to spend at least four games on IR while recovering from a hamstring injury he initially sustained in late July. Until Williams is back on the field, however, Cobie Durant will project to handle a starting role at cornerback across from veteran Tre'Davious White, beginning with Sunday's season opener against the Lions.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Williams signed with the Jags on a three-year, $30 million contract ahead of last season, and he enjoyed a strong first year with the team. He didn't record any interceptions -- he has just six across 63 career NFL games -- but logged 53 tackles (35 solo) and a career-high 16 passes defensed. Williams should again serve as Jacksonville's top cornerback in 2023 but is unlikely to have much IDP viability given the lack of picks and lower tackle totals at the position.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wants to stick with Rams
Williams said Tuesday that he'd like to remain with the Rams long-term, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rams have also expressed interest in retaining Williams via an extension, though he's currently only inked to a one-year deal for 2021. The 28-year-old is coming off a career year, and if he can put together another similar campaign it could motivate Los Angeles to prioritize keeping him around.
