2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams has posted at least 106 tackles in each of his four seasons with the Jets while averaging five passes defensed. New head coach Aaron Glenn and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks bring different defensive philosophies from the departed Robert Saleh and Jeff Ulbrich, but Williams will be a linchpin of the defense regardless of scheme. The star linebacker played more than 99 percent of the team's defensive snaps in 2024 and posted 116 tackles, which was a slight decline from his total of 139 tackles in 2023, when Williams was named a first-team All-Pro.

Dips to 83 tackles in 2025
Williams (hand) recorded 83 tackles (45 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and seven passes defensed across 13 appearances in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Williams fell short of 100 tackles for the first time in five seasons with the Jets as injuries and age took their toll on the 29-year-old linebacker. He dealt with shoulder and hand injuries throughout the season and exited the regular-season finale as the latter injury flared up on him. The Jets traded away Quincy's brother Quinnen Williams during the 2025 season and are unlikely to retain the remaining Williams brother in free agency.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Citing Williams' tackle total as the reason that 2023 was the best season of his career would be underselling what he managed to accomplish. He went from among the worst linebackers in coverage in the first four years of his career to the second-best inside linebacker in PFF coverage grade in 2023. Unsurprisingly, that led to more trust from the team and Williams' highest snap count in his five years as a pro. Williams had already proven himself as an excellent tackler but his ability to develop other areas of his game will help him maintain fantasy relevance - particularly in leagues that reward tackles.
