2024 Fantasy Outlook
Williams is coming off a lost 2023 season after tearing his ACL during an offseason workout. In 2022, he rushed 22 times for 109 yards and a touchdown while securing 13 of 14 targets for 61 yards. He also totaled 313 kick-return yards and 292 punt-return yards. Williams is competing with 2023 UDFA Carlos Washington for a 53-man roster spot, but the former's return abilities likely give him the upper hand. Read Past Outlooks

First-team returner
Williams and Ray-Ray McCloud are the Falcons' first-team returners to start training camp, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Given the new return rules in the NFL, teams are trying different personnel combinations to start training camp. Surprisingly, phenom running back Bijan Robinson isn't getting any looks as a return man to start training camp, with Williams and McCloud currently backed up by Mike Hughes and Rondale Moore. Williams has totaled 803 kick-return yards and 445 punt-return yards over his first two seasons in Atlanta.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Williams was slated to be Atlanta's primary return man and a depth running back in 2023, but the 2021 fifth-round pick tore his ACL during an offseason workout and underwent season-ending surgery in June. In Williams' absence, Cordarrelle Patterson will presumably take over as the Falcons' primary kick returner, while Mike Hughes and Josh Ali compete for punt-return duties.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could see increased role in Week 2
With Damien Williams on IR due to a rib injury, Avery could see an increased role in Atlanta's offense moving forward, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Avery Williams transitioned from defense to running back this offseason and has excelled at his new position so far. He operated as the No. 3 RB behind Damien Williams and Cordarrelle Patterson during the season opener and could be in store for a promotion in Week 2 with Damien Williams ruled out. However, rookie fifth-round pick Tyler Allgeier is also a candidate to make his NFL debut and projects as a more likely option to fill in as the primary backup. The Falcons also elevated Caleb Huntley from the practice squad, but he's expected to be an emergency depth option.
