Fantasy Impact:
Per NFL protocol, players designated as "high-risk close contact" need to be isolated and remain away from the team facility for at least five days after their last contact with the infected individual, which in this case was Sunday. Williams is eligible to return Saturday, ruling him out for Thursday night. With Aaron Jones (calf) and RB4 Tyler Ervin (wrist) only practicing on a limited basis this week, and Williams and Dillon inactive, this backfield is in serious trouble. Fantasy owners should monitor the situation closely.
