2025 Projections
Thrives in playoffs for Patriots
Williams recorded 29 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, along with a defensed pass over 12 regular-season games (all starts) in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Williams' first campaign in New England was interrupted by an ankle injury that caused him to miss five contests late in the season. He was able to return to action in Week 18 and then played a big role during the Patriots' playoff run, posting seven tackles, including 3.0 sacks, along with a defensed pass across four contests. Williams will be in the second year of a four-year deal in 2026 and should again be a key component of New England's defensive line.

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.
