Jamaal Williams 2020 Outlook: A PPR Handcuff
5 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has seen his rushing attempts drop every year he has been in the NFL. However, his ability as a pass blocker with reliable hands has kept him somewhat fantasy-relevant so far. Williams has never been a significant source of touchdowns or high-value touches, however. In 2019, Williams saw a mere 21.8% of the Packers’ red-zone rushes and only 11.1% of their rushes within five yards of the goal. This lack of high-value usage was before Green Bay used a valuable second-round pick on the dominant A.J. Dillon, too. With Aaron Jones likely to get at least 55% of the team’s snaps in 2020 while Dillon steals goal-line work, it is hard to imagine Williams as anything more than a fantasy handcuff or as a PPR deep bench stash. While Williams should maintain a role in Green Bay’s passing game, his involvement in the running game and at the goal-line could dwindle to nothing by the end of the season. With his current ADP of 171st overall, Williams is going just about where he should as a Jones handcuff and as a backup in deeper PPR formats.
