NO RB Jamaal Williams - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Carolina Panthers

Jamaal Williams cracks our top 50 running backs this week, but he's nothing more than a change-of-pace back that will see a handful of carries behind Alvin Kamara. He's a far cry from his 2022 fantasy output.

DET RB Jamaal Williams - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Detroit Lions

Six teams on a bye this week pushed Jamaal Williams up the board a bit, but with how effective Alvin Kamara has been this season, Williams is simply a handcuff to Kamara. Williams hasn't even hit double-digit rushing yards since Week 8.

NO RB Jamaal Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Carolina Panthers

With Alvin Kamara suspended, Jamaal Williams saw the bulk of the carries for the Saints in Week 1. But he averaged just 2.5 yards per carry on his 18 attempts against the Titans. The good news for Williams is that Carolina allowed three touchdowns to Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier last week, so there’s some positive hope for Williams this week as he’ll be the man again. Just by sheer volume, Williams is worth a look in your Flex spot.

DET RB Jamaal Williams - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tennessee Titans

After leading the league in touchdowns in 2022 with the Lions, Jamaal Williams is now in New Orleans and will get a chance, at least early on, to be the lead back with Alvin Kamara suspended. The Saints likely will get rookie Kendre Miller involved as well, but Williams is the man for now. The Titans are pretty stout up front, led by big-money lineman Jeffery Simmons. But the volume Williams is likely to get makes him a solid RB2/Flex option.

NO RB Jamaal Williams - 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Jamaal Williams came out of nowhere last season to lead the league with 17 rushing touchdowns with the Lions. He's now in New Orleans and could see a similar role as a goal-line and early-down back for the Saints. He could also see more work if Alvin Kamara gets hit with a suspension.

Fantasy Downside
Williams could see goal-line work, but so will Kamara and Taysom Hill. Williams also doesn't help in the passing game. He caught all of 12 passes last season with the Lions - though he did catch and he arguably downgraded at quarterback from Jared Goff to Derek Carr. And good luck getting 17 touchdowns again.

2023 Bottom Line
Williams could be the RB1 for a time if Kamara is suspended and rookie Kendre Miller takes time to get up to speed. But as a back that is more a plodder and one that will get goal-line work sniped from him, Williams is a borderline flex option when sharing the field with Kamara. He will have upside if and when he doesn't have to share the field with Kamara.

DET RB Jamaal Williams - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Chicago Bears

Jamaal Williams left early in Week 16 with a leg injury but looks to be fine for Week 17. After going on a touchdown tear, Williams has now gone three weeks without a score and is averaging less than 2.5 yards per carry over the last four weeks. A strong fantasy play in the past, Williams is now a risky flex play for the finals, but he does have a good matchup against the Bears.

DET RB Jamaal Williams - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Carolina Panthers

Has the steam worn off at the worst possible time for Jamaal Williams? He's only averaging 35 yards over his last three games and doesn't have a touchdown in the last two. That said, an easier matchup awaits Williams as the Lions visit the Panthers. Williams continues to see the most carries and is the goal-line back for the Lions, so that gives him some value. In a favorable matchup, Williams checks in as a solid flex option, even with splitting work and conceding pass work to D'Andre Swift.
