Darious Williams
CB - Los Angeles Rams - IR
Week 2 Outlook
91°Rams CB Darious Williams (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Thursday and will miss the first four games to begin the season.
Fantasy Impact
Williams had four interceptions last season in Jacksonville before signing a three-year deal with the Rams this offseason. Tough blow for the LA defensive back room to begin the season.
The Los Angeles Rams are finalizing a three-year deal with Darious Williams.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was released by the Jaguars last week. He previously played with the Rams where he won a Super Bowl. This deal is not finalized according to Rapoport, but it likely will be.
Veteran CB Darious Williams is being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a cap-saving move.
Fantasy Impact
The Jaguars are in a disadvantaged position when it comes to retaining edge rusher Josh Allen, and they need to shed cap to create room to keep him in-house. Williams — who is now in his 30s — had a productive year, posting career-high marks in PFF coverage grade (85.3), interceptions (four), passes defended (19) and forced fumbles (two). A tough decision for the Jaguars, but a solid cornerback is now available on the open market.
The Rams placed CB Darious Williams (ankle) on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was one of the league's top corners last year, and his presence will be missed in LA. Nonetheless, the Rams D/ST is worth rostering with some strong matchups on the horizon.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Rams are extending a first-round RFA tender on standout CB Darious Williams.
Fantasy Impact
After a standout season in which Williams recorded 16 games, four interceptions, 44 tackles, and 14 pass defenses the Rams decided to extended the restricted free agent a qualifying offer of a 1st round pick. If Williams accepts the offer he will make $4.766 million in 2021.
