Joe Williams selected 121st overall by 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have selected former Utah running back Joe Williams with the 121st pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact:

Shortly after the 49ers traded for Kapri Bibbs, they selected Williams 121st overall Saturday. The former Utah rusher will join an uber-crowded backfield in San Francisco and could have trouble making their final 53-man roster. However, with Carlos Hyde's durability always a question mark, plus, an aging Tim Hightower leading the running back unit, 49ers brass could be preparing for the worst. Still, I wouldn't expect much out of Williams in 2017. It wouldn't surprise me if he's on the practice squad come Week 1.
