2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams dealt with an ankle injury that landed the All-Pro tackle on injured reserve after 10 games played in 2024. The 37-year-old held out for more money prior to his down year last season, so Williams should be motivated to produce a bounce-back campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $82.66 million restructured contract with the 49ers in September of 2024.
Uncertain for Week 2
Williams (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Week 2 game against New Orleans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. It would be a huge blow for San Francisco if Williams isn't able to suit up this weekend, especially given that Mac Jones is slated to start at quarterback in place of the injured Brock Purdy (toe). If Williams can't play, Spencer Burford would likely step into a starting role at left tackle.
