  • Change-of-pace role in 2019

    Williams, who rushed four times for nine yards in the playoffs, finished the 2019 season with 107 carries for 460 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and a touchdown while catching 39 passes for 253 yards and five scores over 14 regular-season games.

    Analysis: After splitting backfield duties with Aaron Jones last season, Williams slipped to the clear No. 2 role in 2019 as Jones developed into a stud running back. Williams filled an important change-of-pace role that helped keep Jones fresh, but the former still made an impressive offensive impact, as he tied Davante Adams for the team lead in receiving touchdowns. Both Jones and Williams are entering the final year of their contracts in 2020, and Williams will be worth a late-round pick as a…read more

  • Minimal role in playoff victory

    Williams had one carry for three yards and one reception for nine yards in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Williams was back in action after missing the Packers' regular season finale because of a shoulder injury, but he only played a complementary role alongside Aaron Jones in the Packers' first playoff game, totaling two touches on nine snaps. He could be a bit more active in next weekend's NFC Championship Game if the Packers decide they need him to assist with pass protection more often than he did Sunday.

  • Full practice Wednesday

    Williams (shoulder) practiced in full Wednesday.

    Analysis: Williams was held out of the Packers' regular-season finale as a precautionary measure, which he more or less confirmed after the team's victory over the Lions. Speaking to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Williams said he would have suited up in the Week 17 game if it was a playoff contest. With an uninhibited practice under his belt, Williams is on pace to do just that in Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Seahawks. Expect him to serve as a handcuff to Aaron Jones, a role that…read more

  • Practicing Thursday

    Williams (shoulder) practiced Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams, who was inactive in Week 17, previously relayed via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic that he would have been able to suit up for the Packers' regular-season finale if it had been a playoff game. His presence on the practice field supports that notion, and it looks like Williams will be good to go when his team takes on a yet-to-be-determined opponent Jan. 12.

  • Should be ready for playoff game

    Williams (shoulder) relayed that he would've played in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Lions if it were a playoff game, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams will take the extra week of rest after the Packers secured the No. 2 seed, and there's little doubt that he'll be ready for whichever team is coming to town Jan. 12. The third-year back continues to work as the No. 2 behind Aaron Jones, and Williams averaged 10.4 touches per game during the regular season. While he's slated to be ready, Williams' status will be confirmed when the Packers release their practice reports leading up to the divisional-round game.

  • Not suiting up Week 17

    Williams (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday at Detroit, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Missing just the second game of his three-year career, Williams will defer to Dexter Williams and Tyler Ervin as the backup running backs to Aaron Jones. Depending on the result of this Week 17 contest, Jamaal Williams may have two weeks to rest up before the Packers take the field again.

  • Doubtful for Week 17

    Williams (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Detroit, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur essentially confirmed earlier Friday that Williams won't play, leaving Dexter Williams and Tyler Ervin as the reserve options in Green Bay's backfield. The situation could lead to extra touches for Aaron Jones, as it isn't clear if the team will trust Williams or Ervin to handle significant work in an important game. A victory would give the Packers a shot at the NFC's No. 1 seed, while a loss could drop them as low as No. 3. A first-round bye in the postseason would help…read more

  • Not expected to play

    Coach Matt LaFleur said he doesn't expect Williams (shoulder) to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: LaFleur's comment essentially confirms the obvious, as Williams hasn't taken part in practice all week. Later Friday, the Packers will release their final Week 17 injury report, which will reveal whether Williams is officially ruled out for the contest or listed as doubtful.

    Williams (shoulder) isn't at practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams is trending toward an absence in Sunday's game in Detroit, potentially leaving more snaps for Aaron Jones and a backup role for Dexter Williams and/or Tyler Ervin. Needing a win to ensure they get a bye week, the Packers figure to keep Jones busy Sunday afternoon.

  • No activity yet this week

    Williams (shoulder) was estimated as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report.

    Analysis: Although the Packers didn't hold a session Wednesday and had two walk-throughs on the schedule Thursday, Williams hasn't had any notable activity this week due to a shoulder injury. On Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Danny Vitale and Dexter Williams will take on any reps vacated by an absent Jamaal Williams on Sunday at Detroit.

  • Listed as 'DNP' on report

    Williams (shoulder) was a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Though the shoulder injury that forced Williams out of Monday's 23-10 win over the Vikings isn't viewed as a serious concern, the running back's availability for this weekend's regular-season finale in Detroit is in some peril nonetheless. If Williams can't gain clearance for the Week 17 contest, unproven rookie Dexter Williams and return man Tyler Ervin would represent the available depth backs behind lead option Aaron Jones.

  • Shoulder injury not serious

    Williams said Tuesday that he doesn't believe the shoulder issue he suffered Monday at Minnesota will be a long-term issue, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This season, Williams previously sat out Week 5 with a concussion and missed some practice time Week 14 due to a knee injury. He picked up the current concern when he landed on his shoulder Monday, resulting in his second-lowest offensive snap share (27 percent) of the year. Wednesday's injury report will provide an estimate of how much activity he was able to handle as Green Bay begins preparations for the regular-season finale in Detroit.

  • Questionable to return Monday

    Williams suffered a shoulder injury Monday and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: Williams has 33 rushing yards on six attempts to go along with two receptions for 19 yards in the contest. In his absence, the Packers will rely heavily upon Aaron Jones, as Tyler Ervin is the only other active running back on the roster.

  • Totals 33 yards in win

    Williams carried eight times for 26 yards and caught his only target for a seven-yard gain during Sunday's 21-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Williams did little with his opportunities, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry while making a minimal impact as a receiver. In all fairness, starter Aaron Jones didn't fare much better, though he scored a pair of touchdowns to salvage his own day from a fantasy perspective. Williams now has just 57 scrimmage yards combined over the last two games and seems unlikely to make a major impact in next Monday's matchup with the Vikings.

  • Unremarkable effort in Week 14 win

    Williams rushed seven times for 24 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Packers' 20-15 win over the Redskins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Williams played a clear second fiddle in the backfield with fellow back Aaron Jones getting the hot hand to the tune of 192 total scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown. Williams had logged double-digit carries in each of the three games prior to Sunday, so the downturn in his workload was noticeable, including in the passing game. Williams will look to up his numbers across the board in a Week 15 divisional showdown against the Bears.

  • Will play Sunday

    Williams (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Redskins.

    Analysis: The Packers capped Williams' practice reps Thursday and Friday, but a knee injury won't stop him from suiting up this weekend. He'll look to maintain his role behind Aaron Jones, which has amount to 11.1 touches per game this season

  • Fine to practice

    Williams (knee) is practicing Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams' participation suggests he isn't dealing with a significant injury after being added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant. An unexpected absence for Sunday's game against Washington would leave Dexter Williams and Tyler Ervin as options to spell Aaron Jones in the backfield.

  • Comes down with knee injury

    Williams was limited at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Mid-week additions to the practice report can be worrisome developments, which is what has befallen Williams after no listing on Wednesday's edition. Consequently, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on. Aside from lead back Aaron Jones, the Packers' other options at running back are rookie Dexter Williams and waiver pickup Tyler Ervin.

  • Gains 67 total yards

    Jones ran for 41 yards on 10 carries and added 26 yards on four catches during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Williams has now outgained fellow back Aaron Jones in three of the past four games, thanks in large part to his work in the short passing game. He's also been a more efficient runner during that span, averaging 4.4 yards per carry to Jones' 3.9. Jones still holds more value given his use in the red zone. That is subject to change, however, as Williams had a four-game touchdown streak earlier this season. With he and Jones trending in opposite directions, Williams may pick up a few more touches…read more

  • Leads team in total yardage

    Williams rushed 11 times for 45 yards and caught seven passes (eight targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 37-8 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Williams continued to outpace Aaron Jones in terms of receiving work (eight targets against just one), but the carry split is a bit misleading, as the former got some extra run in the fourth quarter when backups had already entered the game for both sides. Last game's zero-catch performance is looking more like an anomaly, as Sunday proved that the 24-year-old is clearly the team's receiving back (3.9 receptions per game excluding Week 10). Williams could get a few extra carries if next week's…read more

  • Splits carries vs. Panthers

    Williams carried 13 times for 63 yards during Sunday's 24-16 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Williams equaled Aaron Jones' number of carries, averaging a respectable 4.8 yards per tote against a solid Panthers defense. He came in with receiving touchdowns in four consecutive games but wasn't targeted at all for the first time this season. Williams remains a notable part of the Green Bay offense and should continue as such against the 49ers after the team's bye week.

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Williams carried the ball twice for 10 yards and caught all six of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: His fourth-quarter score didn't affect the outcome, but it did extend Williams' streak of games with a receiving TD to four. His six targets were also a season high, in part due to the Packers' offensive line struggling to protect Aaron Rodgers and the QB needing to get rid of the ball quickly. Williams stands a good chance of being productive again next week against a Panthers defense that has been vulnerable to RBs, both on the ground and through the air, all year.

  • Scores twice in primetime win

    Williams ran the ball seven times for 22 yards and a touchdown, adding 14 yards and another score on three receptions in Sunday's 31-24 win over Kansas City.

    Analysis: Fellow back Adam Jones stole the show (over 200 total yards and two scores), but Williams was able to hit paydirt twice as well, albeit with fewer touches and total yardage. The 24-year-old's fantasy value is touchdown-dependent, as he only sees 7-to-12 touches per game on the smaller side of a backfield duo with Jones. Week 9's opponent, San Diego, is giving up 117.1 rushing yards per game, so there could be a large enough piece of the pie for Williams to carve out flex value in deeper…read more

  • Gets touchdown through air

    Williams caught four of five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown and added five yards on three carries during Sunday's 42-24 win over Oakland.

    Analysis: The Raiders were closing quickly on Aaron Rodgers on a goal-line possession in the final moments of the first half. The veteran passer adjusted quickly, flipping the ball out into the flat for a two-yard touchdown to Williams. Though he scored, the performance was a letdown after Williams' 136-yard game in Week 6. The BYU product has been more efficient on the season than stablemate Aaron Jones, averaging 4.6 yards per carry to Jones' 4.0, but has garnered more touches than Jones just twice in…read more

  • Excellent in return to action

    Williams rushed 14 times for 104 yards and caught four of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-22 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Williams returned to the lineup after missing Week 5 with a concussion, and although Aaron Jones started as usual at tailback, Williams made his presence felt once offered the opportunity. Specifically, after Jones fumbled and dropped a would-be touchdown on consecutive drives, Williams was put in the game and quickly responded with a five-yard touchdown. He then ripped off a career-long, 45-yard rush on Green Bay's next series, ultimately helping him top 100 yards for the second time in his…read more

    Analysis: Two weeks removed from picking up the concussion, Williams has completed every step in the protocol for head injuries, including an evaluation by an independent neurologist. During Williams' one game on the pine, fellow running back Aaron Jones went off against the Cowboys in Week 5, accruing 26 touches for 182 yards from scrimmage and four rushing TDs. Considering the breakdown of snaps between Jones and Williams in the first four games of the season, a number of those touches should return to…read more

    The Packers list Williams (concussion) as out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After exiting the Packers' Week 4 loss to the Eagles on Thursday following a hit to the head, Williams was unable to partake in practice at any point this week. He'll thus miss his first game of the season while he remains embedded in the concussion protocol, leaving rookie sixth-round pick Dexter Williams and fullback Danny Vitale as the lone depth options on the roster available behind lead back Aaron Jones.

    Williams (concussion) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if Williams was able to perform any work on the side under the supervision of trainers, but his inability to practice in even a limited fashion for the second straight day doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday in Dallas. If Williams ends up being sidelined, Dexter Williams would likely dress for the first time this season as the top understudy to starting running back Aaron Jones.

Williams also suffered a neck injury on the play in question, so there's no telling when he'll gain clearance from both the team's medical staff in addition to an independent neurologist.

    Analysis: Williams was present at the Packers' team facility Monday but wasn't able to meet with the media and provide an update on his condition since he remains in the protocol. Considering the running back was carted off the field and later hospitalized after taking a big blow to the head, he may have a tough time passing all five phases of the protocol before Sunday's game in Dallas arrives.

If Williams is unable to suit up this Sunday against the Cowboys -- which seems likely -- Dexter Williams is a candidate to be active as Aaron Jones' backup Week 5.

  • Dealing with neck issue

    Williams (neck) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Green Bay didn't hold a formal practice Monday, so what Williams does in Tuesday's session will be telling with regard to his status for Thursday's game against the Eagles. The 24-year-old led the team in carries Sunday against Denver en route to 86 scrimmage yards.

  • Leads way in touches

    Williams ran for 59 yards on 12 carries and added 27 yards on two catches during Sunday's 27-16 win over Denver.

    Analysis: After slowly increasing his workload through the first two weeks, Williams finally overtook Aaron Jones in touches Sunday, 14 to 11. Jones benefited from two of the most important touches -- a pair of touchdown carries -- but the slowly increasing role of Williams bears watching as Jones has struggled early -- averaging 3.8 yards per carry thus far this season. Look for Williams -- particularly with his receiving ability -- to continue to put pressure on his teammate Thursday against the Eagles.

  • Cleared to play

    Williams (ankle) doesn't have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Added to the report Thursday as a limited participant, Williams upgraded to a full session to close out the week. He'll handle his usual role in the Green Bay backfield behind lead runner Aaron Jones.

  • Picks up ankle injury

    Williams was limited at Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Williams wasn't included on the Packers' first Week 3 injury report, so he may have picked up the issue Thursday. No matter how it happened, his ability to fit in some reps is somewhat encouraging. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will be telling for Williams' availability Sunday against the Broncos. If cleared, he's expected to spell Aaron Jones, per usual, out of the Packers' backfield.

  • Still set to split touches

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that he wants to "even up" carries between Williams and Aaron Jones, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Williams saw just nine carries for 28 yards while catching three passes for 13 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's win over the Vikings. Meanwhile, Jones logged a career-high 23 rushing attempts and compiled 150 scrimmage yards and a score on 27 touches. LaFleur is hoping to keep Jones fresh for the entire season and could prioritize a more balanced backfield going forward, but the Packers should still turn to the more explosive running back, Jones, in clutch situations.

  • Scores receiving touchdown

    Williams carried nine times for 28 yards while catching three passes for 13 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-16 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Williams was rather inefficient despite receiving 12 touches, finishing with an underwhelming 3.4 yards per touch. He did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a 15-yard receiving touchdown to get his team on the board in the first quarter. Meanwhile, backfield mate Aaron Jones racked up 150 scrimmage yards on 27 touches and looks the part of a lead back for the Pack. Williams should continue to receive his share of looks when the game flow allows, but big fantasy production shouldn't…read more

  • Operates as backup running back

    Williams had five carries for zero yards and two receptions for 15 yards in Thursday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Williams and Aaron Jones were the only two active running backs for the Packers on Thursday, and they shared the backfield duties to some degree, with Jones tallying 14 touches while playing 59 percent of the snaps and Williams getting seven touches while being on the field for 41 percent of the plays. Those splits make it clear Jones is still the top back in Green Bay, but they do show that Williams will have a role as well. Just how much work each back receives on a weekly basis could be…read more

  • Makes healthy return

    Williams (hamstring) returned for Sunday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams had been nursing a hamstring injury and finally practiced for the first time since the second day of camp. His return might warrant a tiny downgrade for Aaron Jones, who could've been headed for a huge workload if Williams didn't make it back before Week 1. Williams' return at the very least will leave fewer practice reps for rookie Dexter Williams as the season draws closer.

  • Misses another exhibition

    Williams (hamstring) didn't play in Thursday's preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Aaron Jones also was held out, but he returned to practice this past week and warmed up in pads before Thursday's contest. Williams, on the other hand, has missed all of training camp and now the first two weeks of the preseason. All signs point toward Jones handling a large workload Week 1 in Chicago.

  • Absence continues

    Williams (hamstring) did not play in Thursday's preseason opener.

    Analysis: Williams' hamstring injury has already kept him off the field for nearly two weeks and cost him one game, and it's not clear how much longer he will be sidelined. Some sort of official update on Williams' status figures to be provided by either the team or head coach Matt LaFleur in the near future.

  • Held out again

    Williams (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams has been held out of drills since Saturday. On this occasion, though, he was joined by fellow running back Aaron Jones, who is tending to a hamstring injury of his own. Per Demovsky, Williams' issue is more severe than Jones', leaving the former with an undetermined timetable for a return. With the duo on the sidelines Wednesday, 2019 sixth-round pick Dexter Williams got run with the first-team offense.

    Williams (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Packers were off Monday, but the running back continued to sit out practice upon the team's return to the field Tuesday. His current absence paves the way for added reps (behind Aaron Jones) for rookie Dexter Williams.

  • Nursing hamstring injury

    Williams sat out Saturday's practice due to a hamstring issue, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Williams' injury remains undisclosed, but his situation warrants close monitoring given the tricky nature of hamstring issues. As long as Williams remains sidelined, rookie sixth-round pick Dexter Williams should see increased opportunity to earn reps.

  • Facing competition from rookie

    Williams could face competition from sixth-round pick Dexter Williams, FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.

    Analysis: The rookie posted better marks in every combine drill than what his new teammate did two years ago, but the veteran should retain a role on the basis of his pass-blocking acumen if nothing else. In any case, Aaron Jones is locked in as Green Bay's lead runner, coming off back-to-back, injury-plagued seasons with 5.5 yards per carry. The Packers likely would turn to a mix of Jamaal and Dexter Williams if Jones were to miss more time this upcoming season. The team finished June minicamp with only…read more

  • Could work in committee

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that he believes a committee approach in the backfield is the best way to deploy Williams and Aaron Jones, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: General manager Brian Gutekunst had a different take, noting that he wants Jones on the field as much as possible, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The GM's comment is backed by a drastic gap in per-touch production between the two running backs, though it's easier to understand LaFleur's stance after accounting for Jones' issues with durability and Williams' solid work as a pass blocker. While Jones is still the far superior asset for dynasty leagues, it seems the new…read more

  • Nothing doing against stingy Lions

    Williams accounted for four yards on eight rushes, adding three receptions for 16 yards during Sunday's 31-0 loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Williams has been entrusted with an expanded workload since the injury to Aaron Jones (knee) during the first quarter of a Week 15 loss to Chicago. Prior to the season finale against Detroit's top-15 rush defense, the second-year back had made the most of his opportunity, accounting for 253 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns against the Bears and Jets. The Lions may rank as a slightly above-average rush defense on the season, but the team's defensive interior looks completely transformed since…read more

  • Overcomes injury in strong outing

    Williams rushed 15 times for 95 yards and a touchdown while adding six catches for 61 yards on nine targets in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Heading Green Bay's backfield with Aaron Jones (knee) on injured reserve, Williams delivered a strong performance when fantasy owners needed it most. While he left to get checked out for a concussion at one point, Williams was able to return to the contest. He found paydirt from seven yards out late in the first half and was the only Packers running back to get a carry in this one. Williams could have had an even bigger day if either of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' pair of one-yard rushing…read more

    Analysis: Prior to his departure, Williams racked up 10 carries for 70 yards and one touchdown while hauling in two of his three targets for 16 yards. With Aaron Jones (knee) on IR, Kapri Bibbs and Lavon Coleman are the sole health running backs on the active roster.

  • Cleared to face Jets

    Williams (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Jets, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Williams upgraded to full participation Friday after logging limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He appears to be locked in for heavy usage, with recently signed Kapri Bibbs the only other running back on Green Bay's 53-man roster in the wake of Aaron Jones' season-ending knee injury. Williams handled an 87 percent snap share in last week's 24-17 loss to Chicago, taking 12 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 42 yards on five targets.

    Williams (toe) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: For the second straight session, Williams' workload was capped as he tends to a toe injury. He's expected to fill in as the Packers' lead back with Aaron Jones (knee) on injured reserve, but owners may have to wait until Friday to get some clarification on his availability for Sunday's road game against the Jets. The only other running back on the 53-man roster is Kapri Bibbs.

  • Dealing with toe injury

    Williams was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: In the wake of Aaron Jones (knee) landing on injured reserve, Williams is left as the Packers' top running back, but an injury of his own is impacting his practice reps to begin Week 16 preparations. Assuming Williams maintains that workload (at worst) or elevates to full participation, he should handle the majority of the work out of the backfield Sunday against the Jets. His sole competition for touches is Kapri Bibbs, who was claimed off waivers Monday.

  • Slated for lead back role

    With Aaron Jones (knee) landing on injured reserve, Williams will presumably serve as the lead back in Weeks 16 and 17.

    Analysis: Williams performed well in relief of Jones during Sunday's game against the Bears, running 12 times for 55 yards and a touchdown. His downhill running style juxtaposes with Jones' speed and elusiveness, but Williams is the team's best pass protector and a capable runner in his own right. Kapri Bibbs will slot in as Williams' change-of-pace option out of the backfield, and the Packers could even elect to add a third option before Sunday.

  • Performs well in relief

    Williams rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and added 42 yards on four catches during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Chicago. Teammate Aaron Jones sprained his knee during the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams helped tie the game up late in the third quarter, taking the outside handoff and cutting through the Chicago defense on his way to a 10-yard touchdown, his first since Week 8 and just his second of the season. Williams had taken a backseat to fellow sophomore Aaron Jones this season, with Williams recording single-digit touches in eight of his previous nine games entering Sunday. With Jones reportedly battling a sprained knee and little else for Green Bay to play for this season,…read more

  • Remains No. 2 option in backfield

    Williams had four carries for 17 yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Williams was surprisingly the Packers' primary running back in the first quarter of Sunday's game, but that had more to do with interim head coach Joe Philbin scripting a pass-happy attack early than Williams overtaking fellow running back Aaron Jones. By the end of the game, Jones still played 42 snaps to Williams' 24 and tallied 20 touches to Williams' four. Williams was more involved the last two weeks after playing less than 25 percent of the snaps between Weeks 10-12, but he remains the…read more

  • Sees boost in activity

    Williams had seven carries for 13 yards and four receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He also returned three kicks for 72 yards in the game.

    Analysis: The 11 touches were just three fewer than Williams tallied in the previous four games, but he was not able to do much with the added opportunities. Fellow running back Aaron Jones had a season-low 36 yards on the ground Sunday, but he still had 15 touches and found paydirt, so he still had a more productive day. Changes could occur in the Packers' offense with Mike McCarthy no longer calling the shots, but Jones remains the top option in the Green Bay backfield. Both running backs will have a…read more

  • Another quiet game

    Williams had one carry for five yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: It was another quiet week for Williams, who was on the field for just 13 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Aaron Jones played 40 snaps and had another productive outing (17 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown), so don't expect much to change with the Packers' backfield situation in Week 13 against the Cardinals.

  • Plays only four snaps

    Williams had one carry for five yards in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Fellow running back Aaron Jones had already taken over as the primary running back prior to Week 11 and also handled the bulk of the work on passing downs Thursday, rendering Williams almost a non-factor. The gap between the two has widened significantly the last couple weeks, and with Jones excelling on both the ground and through the air -- while proving at least competent at pass blocking -- don't expect that to change anytime soon.

  • Minor role Week 10

    Williams had three carries for three yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Fellow running back Aaron Jones had his best game of the season Sunday, which resulted in Williams playing only a bit role. Jones has tallied 41 carries to Williams' 14 since the Packers' Week 7 bye, so it's clear who the man in the Packers backfield is these days. The two backs had been playing relatively even roles earlier in the season, but consider Jones the clear starter at this point, with Williams filling a complementary role.

  • Racks up 54 yards from scrimmage

    Williams had seven carries for 34 yards and two receptions for 20 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Williams made the most of his touches and put up his most yards from scrimmage since Week 2, but his overall output still did not do much for fantasy players. The Packers used just two running backs Sunday following the trade of Ty Montgomery last week, but Williams worked as the clear No. 2 option behind Aaron Jones, who totaled 43 snaps to Williams' 31 and also clearly topped Williams in all of touches (16), carries (14) and yards from scrimmage (86).
