2025 Fantasy Outlook
With the Mavericks' backcourt decimated by injuries, Williams, who was operating under a two-way deal, was thrust into action at the end of 2024-25. Over the final 15 games, including the Play-In Tournament, the backup point guard averaged 15.5 points, 4.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals while posting 55/39/86 shooting splits. Williams was awarded a standard deal before the postseason and will return to Dallas this season. Kyrie Irving is going to miss at least the first half of the campaign while recovering from a torn ACL, but Dallas brought in D'Angelo Russell to serve as the starting point guard until the veteran superstar is good to go. That leaves Williams competing for backup minutes with Dante Exum and Jaden Hardy. That's not an ideal spot to be in for fantasy purposes, but given what we saw from Williams to end last season, he has to at least be on radars heading into 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract with the Mavericks in April of 2025. 
Goes through practice
Williams (hamstring) practiced Tuesday, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams has been dealing with a hamstring issue, which has kept him sidelined for the preseason. With one preseason game remaining on the schedule for Dallas, Williams is trending in the right direction after participating in Tuesday's practice session. However, it remains uncertain whether he'll be available to play in Wednesday's preseason finale against the Lakers.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Williams split 2021-22 between the NBA and the G League, where he lit it up with the Westchester Knicks to the tune of 22.6 points, 6.4 assists and 4.1 rebounds over 33.1 minutes per game early in the campaign. His effort earned him a 10-day look with Portland in late December and a two-way deal in late February. Williams took advantage of his opportunity with a banged-up Trail Blazers squad down the stretch, averaging 13.6 points, 4.2 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 28.5 minutes per contest after the All-Star break. However, he's unlikely to repeat that output this season with Portland healthier to open 2022-23, and the second-year guard may bounce between the NBA and the G League again this year. As a result, he is likely only an attractive fantasy option in the deepest of formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Kidd talks him up
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd had some positive things to say about Williams on Thursday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
"I thought at the end of the summer, he was playing at a high level," Kidd said. "When he's healthy, he's a problem." Williams is currently day-to-day with a hamstring strain, but he's generated some hype with his play at training camp. His contract for the 2025-26 season is not guaranteed, leading many to speculate that he might not make the final roster, but Kidd's comments seem to indicate otherwise. In a best-case scenario, Williams could potentially open the season as D'Angelo Russell's backup while Kyrie Irving is sidelined.
