2024 Fantasy Outlook
Williams logged 40 tackles in 17 regular-season games (two starts) with the Bills as a third-round rookie in 2023. Looking ahead, the Tulane product has an opportunity to see an expanded role in his second pro campaign now that Matt Milano is slated to miss extended time with a biceps injury. Read Past Outlooks
Makes 10 tackles in TNF win
Williams notched 10 tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Williams played 52 defensive snaps Thursday after handing 51 snaps in Week 1. He remains locked into a starting role on defense with Matt Milano (biceps) sidelined until at least late in the 2024 campaign. Buffalo's linebacker corps also lost Terrel Bernard (pectoral) for potentially one month Thursday, leaving Baylon Spector to step into his starting gig. Williams' next chance to make an impact will come Week 3 versus the Jaguars.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for expanded role?
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.
