News

  • Lands future pact

    Williams signed a reserve/future contract with Washington on Monday,

    Analysis: Williams spent a short period of time on Washington's practice squad this year after being jettisoned from the Lions. While this past season was a quiet one for the running back, he logged 49 carries for 235 yards and a touchdown with the Colts in 2019.

  • Gets practice squad spot

    Washington signed Williams to the practice squad Thursday.

    Analysis: Williams has appeared in five games with Detroit this season, and he'll now provide emergency depth for Washington during the team's regular-season finale. The Football Team's top running back, Antonio Gibson (toe), appears in danger of missing another contest.

  • No longer with Lions

    Williams was waived by the Lions on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: The Arkansas product was afforded five 2020 game appearances during his partial-season stint in Detroit, but he never gained much traction in the Lions' backfield. Over a combined 27 offensive snaps, Williams collected 26 scrimmage yards on five touches. A lost fumble Week 12 against the Texans may have cost him down the stretch.

  • No touches in Sunday's win

    Williams didn't receive a carry or a target in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Even with D'Andre Swift (illness) out of the lineup and Kerryon Johnson (knee) suffering an injury during the game, Williams was left out of the backfield rotation. Instead, Adrian Peterson rushed 16 times. Williams is emergency depth for Detroit, and that could have some value if Swift and Johnson miss more time.

  • Gets opportunity on offense

    Williams rushed once for five yards and secured four of four targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 41-25 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Williams hadn't seen an offensive snap all season before logging 21 for Detroit during Thursday's game, which was one less snap than starter Adrian Peterson but half of what Kerryon Johnson (39 snaps) saw. While all of these guys probably would've seen less playing time had D'Andre Swift (concussion) been available, it is notable that it was Williams on the field when Detroit was in hurry-up mode in the second half. Given the committee approach Detroit has been taking to the backfield, it…read more

  • Officially on active roster

    Williams has cleared the COVID-19 protocols and is on the Lions' 53-man roster, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Williams signed with the team last Friday and is now officially a member of the active roster. The Lions cut Bo Scarbrough to clear up a roster spot. Williams enjoyed a moment of glory with the Colts last season when he produced back-to-back, 100-yard rushing performances, but he quickly fell back to earth and ended up playing just two offensive snaps over the final four games. He'll serve as depth in this backfield that's already divvying up touches to rookie D'Andre Swift, Adrian Peterson and…read more

  • Heads to Detroit

    The Lions signed Williams to the active roster Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams made a pitstop on Detroit's practice squad earlier this season but was cut after just a week with the unit, inking a deal with Washington's practice squad shortly thereafter. The Lions are bringing him in as backfield depth now, but he likely won't be utilized much following D'Andre Swift's recent success and Adrian Peterson's ability to remain in the mix despite his inefficiencies. Williams won't be eligible to play Week 8 against the Colts due to COVID-19 protocols, but he could suit…read more

  • Inks practice-squad deal

    Washington signed Williams to the practice squad Friday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Lions cut Williams from their practice squad last week, but he'll have a new opportunity in Washington following news that Bryce Love (knee) has been placed on IR. Last season with the Colts, Williams rushed 49 times for 235 yards (4.8 YPC) and a touchdown.

  • Released from practice squad

    The Lions cut Williams from the practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Lions have a deep group of running backs on the active roster, so Williams likely wouldn't be able to secure a role this season. Backfield injuries have piled up around the league, so Williams should be able to leverage last year's impressive stint with Indianapolis into a practice squad or even depth role elsewhere.

  • Back to active roster

    Williams reverted to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Williams was brought up to the active roster for Week 1's divisional showdown against the Bears, but the running back was ultimately a healthy scratch. The Lions have plenty of backfield depth, so Williams will struggle to climb the team's depth chart.

  • Inactive for season opener

    Williams is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Williams was promoted to the Lions' active roster Saturday, but he will not immediately suit up for the team. He slots in sixth in the depth chart, so it's unlikely he will play a key role in the Lions' offense anytime soon.

  • Promoted to active roster

    Williams was promoted to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Williams was cut by the Lions late in training camp but re-joined the team's practice squad. He's now on the 55-man active roster but isn't likely to have much of a role given the depth of the Lions' backfield.

  • Cut by Lions

    Williams was let go by the Lions on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old castoff never really had a chance to make an impression with the Lions and thus will see another stint on free agency. Williams has seen time with four different rosters since being drafted in the fifth round by the Bills in 2016.

  • Gets little run to conclude 2019

    Williams was active for nine games during the 2019 season, finishing with 49 carries for 235 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 59 yards.

    Analysis: Williams' efficiency on the ground (4.8 yards per carry) and as a pass catcher (11.8 yards per reception) was impressive, but it wasn't enough for him to make much of a push up the depth chart over the final quarter of the season, when the Colts were at full strength in the backfield. In fact, a whopping 91.2 percent of Williams' total yards from scrimmage came in Weeks 11 and 12, when top back Marlon Mack was limited or withheld entirely due to a fractured right hand. Williams played just 18…read more

  • Plays just one offensive snap

    Williams didn't record a touch in Monday's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Williams was the main beneficiary of Marlon Mack's absence due to a fractured hand, registering two straight games with 100-plus rushing yards, although he recorded just 14 yards in Week 13 sans Mack. The 25-year-old Wiliams crashed back to earth when Mack returned, as he's played just one offensive snap over the last two weeks, ceding rotational duties to Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines. Williams is droppable ahead of fantasy championships.

  • No snaps on offense

    Williams was active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, but didn't have a carry or play a snap on offense.

    Analysis: He played five snaps on special teams. With Marlon Mack back from a broken hand, Williams will move back to the bench. He had two games with 100 or more yards rushing in Week 11 and Week 12, but was benched in the second half in Week 13 and has apparently fallen to the bottom of the depth chart. He may not get many carries the rest of the season as long as Mack stays healthy.

  • Headed for decreased role

    Coach Frank Reich suggested that Williams would be in line for a lesser role Sunday against the Buccaneers with lead running back Marlon Mack (hand) available to play, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. "Not thinking a big pitch count," Reich said of Mack on Friday. "Even when he's humming, we don't hesitate to rotate those guys. We know Marlon's going to get the bulk of those carries. I'm anticipating that all four backs will dress. So it might be a little bit more of a rotation involved."

    Analysis: Mack missed the Colts' past two games with the fractured hand, paving the way for both Williams and Jordan Wilkins to see increased involvement on the ground. While Williams led the backfield in impressive fashion in the Colts' 12 loss to the Texans -- 117 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches -- he fell behind Wilkins in the pecking order in the Week 13 loss to Titans, finishing with only 25 total yards on nine touches. Reich suggested that Williams' decreased usage against the…read more

  • Benched due to coach's decision

    Williams did not touch the ball in the second half of Sunday's loss at Jacksonville due to a coach's decision, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. "It was a little bit hot hand," said head coach Frank Reich. "There was more than one factor that went into it, but nothing negative in the terms of a general feeling that we have about Jonathan."

    Analysis: Williams was called for a holding penalty early in the game which may have contributed to the decision. Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines split the workload at running back once Williams was benched. With Marlon Mack possibly returning this week from a hand injury and Williams' role in doubt, his fantasy value will take a big hit despite his 100-yard rushing performances in his two prior games.

  • Benched in loss

    Williams had just eight carries for 14 yards and one reception for 11 yards on one target in Sunday's loss to Tennessee. He did not have a carry in the second half.

    Analysis: Williams inexplicably took a back seat to Jordan Wilkins (11 carries for 47 yards) and Nyheim Hines (four carries for 22 yards and two receptions for 18 yards), even though he was coming off back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances. It's not clear if Williams was hurt, benched due to a disciplinary reason or just pulled for poor performance. His benching will make the Indy backfield usage uncertain until Marlon Mack is able to return from a broken hand.

  • Slated to start Week 13

    Williams is in line to be the Colts' starting running back Week 13 against the Titans with Marlon Mack (hand) ruled out, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Williams provided generous dividends to fantasy owners who were wise enough to stash him or lucky enough pick him up after Mack went down, as he rumbled for 104 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and caught all three targets for 17 yards in Week 12's loss to the Texans. He's slated to lead the backfield again, while Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins rotate in reserve.

  • Shows well as lead back in loss

    Williams rushed 26 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 17 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

    Analysis: As expected, Williams got a legitimate opportunity to fill Marlon Mack's (hand) lead-back role, and he proved capable of the responsibility with a gutsy showing versus an active Texans front. Williams' long gain on the night was his 13-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, so he worked for what he got on the majority of his carries. With Mack potentially out again in Week 13 versus the Titans, Williams could certainly be in line for another hefty workload in that Dec. 1 matchup against…read more

  • On track to fill starting role

    The Colts plan to treat Williams as their starting running back for Thursday's game against the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Passing-down specialist Nyheim Hines would presumably take on most of the snaps out of the backfield if Houston races out to an early lead that forces Indianapolis into catch-up mode, but Williams looks like he'll be the Colts' top option in the event a more balanced or run-heavy game plan is in place. Though coach Frank Reich mentioned earlier in the week that Jordan Wilkins should also benefit from a heightened role as the Colts proceed without Marlon Mack (hand), Williams seemingly earned…read more

  • Tabbed to help replace Mack

    Coach Frank Reich said that Williams and Jordan Wilkins (ankle) would take on expanded roles in the Colts' running attack with Marlon Mack (hand) out indefinitely, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: After undergoing surgery to repair the fractured right hand he sustained in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Jaguars, Mack has already been ruled out for the Colts' Week 12 game against the Texans and will most likely miss a few more contests beyond that. Williams already took advantage of Mack's early exit Sunday, rushing 13 times for 116 yards and recording a 31-yard reception to help salt away the victory. That performance might be enough to give Williams an early leg up when it comes to…read more

  • Tops 100 yards on ground

    Williams carried the ball 13 times for 116 yards in the team's Week 11 win over the Jaguars. He also added one reception for 31 yards.

    Analysis: Williams took over duties as the primary ballcarrier early in the third quarter after Marlon Mack exited with a broken hand. While he managed a 16-yard rush and 31-yard reception prior to Mack's exit, Williams handled 10 of the team's 15 carries after Mack bowed out. Williams' effort was highlighted by a 48-yard scamper early in the fourth quarter, though Nyheim Hines vultured the touchdown to close the drive. Mack has already been ruled out for the team's Week 12 contest against the Texans,…read more

  • Gets two carries

    Williams had two carries for one yard in Sunday's loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Williams played seven snaps on offense as he got time with Jordan Wilkins suffering an ankle injury. Williams could be active again next week, but he'll need an injury to Marlon Mack or Nyheim Hines to get significant touches.
