Connor Williams

The Miami Dolphins will be without C Connor Williams for the remainder of the season due to an ACL tear he suffered.

Fantasy Impact

The biggest blow without Williams will be to Miami's run game. The guard-turned-center was Miami's best run-blocker with a 90.5 grade in nine games played, according to PFF, and was the second-best grading run-blocking center in the NFL. He was also solid in pass protection with a 71.7 grade. Liam Eichenberg will slot back in at the center role.

Connor Williams and Miami have agreed to terms on a two-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Williams had a stellar season in 2021. He allowed only 13 pressures, which was the second-lowest tally in the league. He had the ninth highest overall grade, ninth highest pass block grade, and twelfth highest run block grade. Extra protection for Tua Tagovailoa should help the young QB improve his passing efficiency which should also boost Jaylen Waddle's production. Miami is certainly making strides to improve on their weaknesses from last year.

With the 50th overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Texas offensive lineman Connor Williams.

Fantasy Impact

The Eagles moved in front of the Cowboys to take tight end Dallas Goedert at pick 49, which is significant because future Hall of Fame Cowboys tight end Jason Witten abruptly retired earlier in the day. So, instead of tight end, the Cowboys chose to add more depth to an already talented offensive line. Williams is capable of playing guard or tackle at the NFL level, and Dallas has the flexibility to leave him at tackle or kick him inside to guard. He was announced as a guard at the NFL Draft, but that is not always indicative of a team's intentions.
