Impresses in first NFL start
Williams recorded 10 total tackles (four solo) and defended two passes in the Packers' 24-19 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 fourth-round pick made the first start of his young NFL career Sunday, as Green Bay shifted Keisean Nixon to outside corner and moved Javon Bullard to nickel in the absence of Jaire Alexander (groin). Williams took full advantage of his increased opportunities, leading the Packers' defense in total tackles and tying Xavier McKinney for the lead in passes defended. Don't be surprised if Williams sees more work with the Packers' first-team defense moving forward, regardless of the injuries Green Bay's defense is dealing with.

Dan Marcus focuses on IDPs worthy of a Week 6 pickup, including JD Bertrand, who played 73 percent of defensive snaps in Week 5 and logged five tackles, which should continue if Troy Andersen remains out.
In his first season as the Packers' starting quarterback, Jordan Love got a double dose of playoff experience under his belt. Now, the aim will be consistency from Week 1 onward after a 9-8 finish in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making push for playing time
Williams has put himself in the mix for playing time with the starters after a strong preseason debut Saturday against the Browns, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Williams had six tackles and a forced fumble across 22 defensive snaps. The 2024 fourth-round pick is competing with 2024 second-rounder Javon Bullard for the starting strong safety role. It's possible Green Bay will use a rotation between the two rookies, or they could even share the field, as Green Bay had them on the field simultaneously at one point against the Browns, with Bullard shifting to a nickel cornerback role.
