Jamaal Williams

Jamaal Williams had six carries for 29 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards on three targets during the Packers 33-30 win over the 49ers on Monday night.

Fantasy Impact

Aaron Jones got the starting nod in the backfield over Williams and continues to look like the better and more explosive back. Williams will continue to rotate in for a few series but his limited volume makes him unusable in fantasy leagues.

Jamaal Williams had six carries for 33 yards and caught 2-of-4 targets for 19 receiving yards during the Packers Week 5 loss to the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

The Packers split up the 17 carries between their trio of RBs in Week 5 as they fell behind early and didn't get an opportunity for any of the RBs to get a hot hand. Williams managed a solid 5.5 YPC on Sunday but like the other Packers' RB just didn't get enough carries as the Packers trailed throughout. Williams has been in single-digit carries twice in three games since Aaron Jones returned from his suspension. Williams isn't usable as long as Jones and Ty Montgomery are also healthy.

Jamaal Williams could only muster 27 yards on 11 carries against the Bills in Week 4 for a meager 2.5 YPC.

Fantasy Impact

Williams was outgained by fellow RB Aaron Jones who had 65 rushing yards on the same number of carries. Jones is clearly the better back and should continue to eat into Williams workload in the coming weeks. Williams should be riding the pine in fantasy leagues.

Jamaal Williams had five carries for 29 yards and caught 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards during the Packers 31-17 loss to the Redskins in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

Game flow did not allow the Packers to run the ball often with just 17 rushing attempts in the game. However, the more worrisome part for Williams is the return of Aaron Jones, who led the team in carries and rushing yards this week and has an obvious burst that Williams does not possess. Williams is only worth using as a flex option in a good matchup, which in theory at least, he does have in Week 4 at home against the Bills.

Jamaal Williams had 16 carries for 59 yards and three receptions for 12 yards on four targets during the Packers Week 2 tie against the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

A solid 3.7 YPC for Williams against a stout Vikings run defense. Through two games, Williams has 31 carries for 106 yards (3.42 YPC) against two good rush defenses. However, Williams failed to make any big chunk plays on the ground and will now have to contend with Aaron Jones, who is returning from suspension, for carries going forward. It might be a situation to avoid next week against the Redskins until the backfield carry distribution starts to work itself out.
