Gets another chance in NFL
Williams was conditionally reinstated from suspension by the NFL on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams scored nine touchdowns in 11 games as a rookie fifth-round pick for the Bills in 2015, but repeated violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy kept him out of the league the past three seasons aside from a stint on the Steelers' practice squad in 2016. He'll turn 26 in May and will be hoping for a mere opportunity to compete for a roster spot.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
If you caught Williams on the right day, you’d wonder how anyone ever brings the guy down. In his rookie season with Buffalo, he riddled the Dolphins for 220 rushing yards and three TDs in their two meetings, averaging 10.5 a carry (and if anything, the tape was even more impressive). His other games weren’t to that level, but a 5.6 YPC always jumps off the page. Williams wasn’t used extensively as a receiver, but looked capable in that area when asked. That said, the second-year back has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the regular season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Coupled with the fact the Bills weren't happy he showed up to summer workouts an far too gooey shape for the brass's liking, and Williams' value took about as much of a downturn as one not suffering from an injury might have. The Bills finally felt they had enough with Williams' lack of motivation and cut him in August.
