Jamaal Williams is a 2022 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Williams as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~125 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~142
ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has made a career out of being the second half of the coveted one-two punch that offensive coordinators love to deploy. During his time in Green Bay, he played behind Aaron Jones, contributing on a per-game basis and as the starter when Jones was injured.
The 27-year-old had fantasy finishes of RB44 in 2018, RB 34 in 2019, and RB 39 in 2020 with Green Bay before finishing as the RB43 last year with the Lions. While the former Packer will not provide standalone weekly value, he will act as a valuable backup in an ascending offense.
Furthermore, the Lions' starter D'Andre Swift missed three games in his rookie season and four games last year, creating question marks about his durability and increasing the chances that Williams will be a starter this season.
Williams was also inactive during two of the games Swift missed but produced 17 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown, with one reception for nine yards in Week 13 and 19 carries for 77 yards in Week 16, offering top 30 value when filling in as the starter.
Williams is currently ranked 45th in Rotoballer's rankings, with an ADP of 142 overall, allowing you to draft him very late or add him to your bench if he goes undrafted. With his skill set, he could be a solid stash on your bench or a valuable handcuff for Swift owners.
