Sooner or later Williams will break out in a big way as we continue to see glimpses of it on the field. He is top 24 in rushing yards (247) while ranking even higher in catch rate (91.7%) and evaded tackles (22). But the downside is that he continues to be on the wrong side of a split backfield with Melvin Gordon. The limits in opportunities have affected his efficiency to date as indicative by his low rankings in fantasy points per game (9.4) and fantasy points per opportunity (0.72). Eventually, we will see him bust out in a big way. That could be in Week 6 as he faces a Raiders defense that has to be susceptible in points allowed to the position (19.0 FPPG). If Williams sees an increase in workload in this game, he could provide a solid value as a low-end RB2.

The emergence […]
Despite the magnitude of injuries this season, we still haven't found that league-deciding waiver wire pick-up. With all the research and data available, and given fantasy football's sheer popularity, maybe those days are long gone. The best handcuffs are stashed, and most highly drafted rookies are held all year, not wanting to be the person […]
Week 6 was not an ideal week for quarterback production in fantasy football. Not only were fantasy managers missing some big names because of bye weeks (Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, and Kyler Murray), but teams in general struggled to put up points through the air. Only six quarterbacks (Trevor Lawrence, Tyler Shough, Drake Maye, […]
