2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 49ers selected Williams with the 11th pick in this year's draft with hopes that the talented edge rusher could step in and immediately offer a reliable threat opposite Nick Bosa. Standing at 6-foot-5, 267 pounds, the 21-year-old Williams has the potential to develop into a dominant edge threat under returning DC Robert Saleh. From an IDP standpoint, the rookie may cede some snaps to offseason acquisition Bryce Huff in obvious passing situations, which could put a ceiling on his fantasy value in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $24.94 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2025.
Practices in full
Williams logged a full practice session Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams suffered a wrist injury in 49ers' win over Arizona on Sunday, but he was able to return. His full practice session Wednesday suggests he should be ready to suit up for a Week 4 matchup against Jacksonville.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Standing out at OTAs
Williams, whom the 49ers selected out of Georgia with the 11th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has been impressing at OTAs, Lindsey Pallares of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The standout edge rusher has been displaying "explosiveness and power" during defensive-line drills, per Pallares. Williams, who recorded 23 tackles for loss, including 14.0 sacks, during his three-year college career, is projected for a prominent role along a 49ers defensive front that also includes Nick Bosa and will be under the tutelage of coordinator Robert Saleh, who was instrumental in San Francisco's defensive success earlier in the decade.
