Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for expanded role?
LBBuffalo Bills
October 8, 2023
Williams, who finished Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Jaguars with four tackles and a pass deflection, could be in line for more defensive snaps moving forward, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Matt Milano is expected to miss the rest of the season after fracturing his leg.
ANALYSIS
Williams was able to match his season tackle total Sunday following Milano's exit. The Bills selected Williams in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft as a replacement for Tremaine Edmunds and to bolster the linebacker corps, though the rookie could see more playing time with injuries devastating the Bills' defense just five games into the season. Head coach Sean McDermott noted after the game that he and the coaching staff were "confident" in Williams and applauded him for being able to perform on short notice. The rookie out of Tulane should see a lot more practice reps in the coming week as the Bills host the Giants in Week 6.
