2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Williams will stick with the Buccaneers for 2026 after having logged a curveball rookie year with the team in 2025. After going undrafted out of LSU, Williams put together a solid training camp but then missed time, first due to a concussion and then a six-game suspension, leading Tampa Bay to waive and re-sign him to the practice squad. Now, Williams will get a chance to compete for the No. 4 backfield gig behind Bucky Irving, Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker. Read Past Outlooks
