2024 Fantasy Outlook
Williams was dealt mid-season from the Giants to the Seahawks. The shift seemed to energize him, as he managed 41 total tackles and four sacks in 10 games. Simply pro-rating that production would be a mistake, but his role with his new team gives reason for optimism. Williams was primarily deployed as a pass-rush specialist while with the Giants, but the Seahawks used him nearly equally as both a pass rusher and run defender. Over a larger sample, that shift could cause him to lose some production as a pass rusher, but it should be offset by additional tackle volume setting him up for well-rounded production in 2024.

Upgrades to limited practice Thursday
Williams (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams sat out practice Wednesday but was able to return to the field one day later. Seattle was on bye last week, so it's not clear when the veteran defensive end picked up the foot issue, which appears to be a new injury. Williams missed a game earlier in the campaign due to an injury to his ribs.

The 29-year-old put up disappointing numbers last year despite his talent, managing only 45 tackles and 2.5 sacks while missing five games due to injuries. Heading into the final season of the massive contract Williams signed with the Giants in 2021, a rebound looks within reace. The team's front seven should be much improved, taking attention and pressure off Williams, while coordinator Don Martindale's defenses have typically been good at harassing quarterbacks. His units finished top-5 in QB pressures in two of his first three seasons in Baltimore, while the Giants were eighth in that department in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed for big payday
Williams is likely to demand at least $17 million annually on his new contract, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was traded to the Seahawks halfway through the season and went on to tally four sacks in 10 games for his new team. He out-performed teammate Dre'Mont Jones in that span, causing Henderson to suggest that teams would need to at least match the $17.2 million annual salary of Jones in any contract with Williams. Williams has reached double-digit sacks just once in his nine-year career however, so he may ultimately be unable to get that kind of payday.
