2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams worked in a rotational role with the Eagles last season, but after signing the defensive tackle to a franchise-record four-year, $104 million contract, the Patriots are counting on the 2021 third-rounder to anchor their defensive line this season and beyond. With that in mind, look for the 6-foot-3, 290-pounder to easily eclipse his 2024 stats (24 tackles, 5.0 sacks) with the expanded workload that's coming his way. Read Past Outlooks
Signed by the Patriots in March of 2025.
Good to go Sunday
Williams (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Williams was a last-minute addition to the Patriots' injury report early Sunday due to an illness. It appears he'll be able to give it a go against New Orleans, though he probably won't be at 100 percent. New England will nonetheless look to Williams, who has 2.5 sacks through five games, to bolster its pass rush.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Eagles selected Williams in the third round of the 2021 draft, and he went on to play a rotational role in his rookie season. He played in all 17 games, starting two, and was on the field for 41 percent of the team's defensive snaps, recording two sacks and 30 tackles. Continued development could see his role expand this year, but he's still stuck behind at least Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave on the tackle depth chart, as well as potentially 2022 13th-overall pick Jordan Davis.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Second-best free agent per Athletic
David DeChant, Jourdan Rodrigue and Vic Tafur of The Athletic rank Williams as the second-best free agent available in the 2025 offseason in Thursday's updated free agency rankings.
ANALYSIS
Despite modest sack numbers, Williams is elite at generating pressure from the interior, as his 14.2 percent pressure rate during the 2024 regular season was third-highest among interior defensive linemen with at least 100 pass rush attempts. The Athletic staff compares Williams to Malik Jackson, whose contract in the 2016 offseason was for the equivalent of $25 million per year, and Williams is well positioned to get at least $20 million per season on his next deal.
