31-Year-Old CornerbackCB
Los Angeles Rams
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The veteran cornerback put up huge numbers in his final season with Jacksonville: 19 passes defended, four interceptions and 53 tackles, all while playing in every game for the third time in four seasons. Williams chose to return to the Rams for his second stint with the team, as the 31-year-old signed a three-year deal to replace Ahkello Witherspoon and form a new-look secondary alongside another new face in Tre'Davious White. Former starting corners Quentin Lake and Cobie Durant are returning for the Rams, but Williams should be locked into a starting role as the team's alpha at the position. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Williams signed with the Jags on a three-year, $30 million contract ahead of last season, and he enjoyed a strong first year with the team. He didn't record any interceptions -- he has just six across 63 career NFL games -- but logged 53 tackles (35 solo) and a career-high 16 passes defensed. Williams should again serve as Jacksonville's top cornerback in 2023 but is unlikely to have much IDP viability given the lack of picks and lower tackle totals at the position.
The 28-year-old joined the Jaguars on a three-year, $30 million deal this offseason and will be part of a starting tandem at cornerback opposite Shaquill Griffin. Williams emerged as a starter for the Rams over the past two years, and he totaled 113 tackles, 23 passes defensed and four interceptions in 30 games. He's unlikely to be much of a factor as an IDP contributor but will play a critical role in Jacksonville's secondary.
Despite being considered undersized at 5-9, 187, Williams turned in an impressive 2020 campaign and all but locked up a starting gig to begin 2021. However, while he graded as the fourth-best cornerback on Pro Football Focus, his fantasy production wasn't as impressive. He finished the season with 44 tackles (37 solo), four interceptions and 14 pass defenses. With John Johnson and Troy Hill moving on to the Browns during free agency, Williams will be called upon to take another step forward this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wants to stick with Rams
CBLos Angeles Rams
July 27, 2021
Williams said Tuesday that he'd like to remain with the Rams long-term, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rams have also expressed interest in retaining Williams via an extension, though he's currently only inked to a one-year deal for 2021. The 28-year-old is coming off a career year, and if he can put together another similar campaign it could motivate Los Angeles to prioritize keeping him around.
