2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 29-year-old put up disappointing numbers last year despite his talent, managing only 45 tackles and 2.5 sacks while missing five games due to injuries. Heading into the final season of the massive contract Williams signed with the Giants in 2021, a rebound looks within reace. The team's front seven should be much improved, taking attention and pressure off Williams, while coordinator Don Martindale's defenses have typically been good at harassing quarterbacks. His units finished top-5 in QB pressures in two of his first three seasons in Baltimore, while the Giants were eighth in that department in 2022. Read Past Outlooks
Makes one tackle in loss
Williams recorded one tackle and assisted on another in the Giants' 40-0 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.
ANALYSIS
The starter along the defensive interior played 32 snaps, the second highest total at his position behind Dexter Lawrence. No one on New York's defense recorded a sack. Dallas also ran for three scores.

For most of his seven-year NFL career Williams has been a better real-life defender than IDP,
with many of his contributions being the thankless sort that don’t show up in the box score. For
the last two years, however, Williams’ stats have been valuable in IDP leagues. While you can’t
expect a DL1 finish from Williams, he should be a solid DL2 in most formats.
