This performance starkly contrasts his season averages, significantly inflating his ERA and WHIP. Given his inability to manage even a single inning effectively, fantasy managers might view this game as a significant red flag. Williams's season-long metrics like a decent K/9 and FIP suggest some underlying skills, but his inconsistency, highlighted by today's game, could make him a risky play in fantasy lineups moving forward.

His ability to limit hits and maintain a solid strikeout rate in this game could hint at a turning point.

His WHIP and BABIP suggest that he's been somewhat unlucky, but not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Fantasy managers should view Williams as a risky play, primarily valuable for his strikeout potential, but a liability in ERA and WHIP. His high FIP indicates some positive regression may be on the horizon, but it's a gamble whether that will materialize soon enough to impact fantasy rosters positively this season.

This performance nudges his ERA to an unsettling 5.02 and his WHIP to 1.42 for the season, which are hardly the numbers fantasy managers are hoping for. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.8 K/9, his inconsistency in run prevention and a high BABIP suggest that hitters are finding ways to capitalize on his pitches. Williams's FIP stands at a more respectable 3.54, indicating some bad luck may be involved, but fantasy managers might still want to exercise caution. Relying on him in fantasy lineups could be risky unless he shows signs of substantial improvement.
