2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams was able to shape out a spot in the defense during the 2024/25 season, netting a full-time spot instead of a rotational role like the previous two seasons. This was a slight breakout season for the 25-year-old, as he did surpass 2,000 minutes played for the first time, earning close to 2,600 minutes. His presence in the defense was a main point of his season, notching 31 interceptions, 90 tackles and 120 clearances, an impressive statline for a left-back. He also would tie his career-high for goal contributions in a season with four, netting a goal and three assists. He is now heading into his contract year, which could provide another boost for the defender as he tries to maintain his starting role and earn another contract after a successful spell.

Signs extension
Williams signed a four-year contract extension with Nottingham Forest, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Williams extended his stay through the end of the 2029 campaign with a four-year deal. The defender is set to be a crucial part of the team for the foreseeable future, and is continuing to develop as an attacking threat. He scored one goal and added three assists in 35 Premier League appearances last season.
