Logs 117 tackles in sophomore year
Williams played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 117 tackles (68 solo), one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries. He added seven tackles (six solo) across the Bills' three playoff games.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 third-round pick started in the first 11 games of the regular season due to the absence of Matt Milano, who began the campaign on injured reserve while recovering from a right leg fracture that he suffered in October 2023. Williams took advantage of the opportunity, recording 97 tackles (59 solo) over that span while logging double-digit tackles in six games. He moved back to a rotational role following Buffalo's Week 12 bye after Milano was activated off IR, but Williams' play in 2024 gives him a strong case of being an every-down linebacker for the 2025 season. Williams will have a chance to earn that role when training camp starts in July.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Set for expanded role?
Williams, who finished Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Jaguars with four tackles and a pass deflection, could be in line for more defensive snaps moving forward, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Matt Milano is expected to miss the rest of the season after fracturing his leg.
ANALYSIS
Williams was able to match his season tackle total Sunday following Milano's exit. The Bills selected Williams in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft as a replacement for Tremaine Edmunds and to bolster the linebacker corps, though the rookie could see more playing time with injuries devastating the Bills' defense just five games into the season. Head coach Sean McDermott noted after the game that he and the coaching staff were "confident" in Williams and applauded him for being able to perform on short notice. The rookie out of Tulane should see a lot more practice reps in the coming week as the Bills host the Giants in Week 6.
