By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

Williams is being eased in. He has played 45% of the snaps in each game, averaging 15.5 touches and 57.5 total yards. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he's 18th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Williams has also been chipping in on passing downs, ranking third on the team with a 13.6% Target share. He's sixth in receiving grade and 18th in YPRR among 33 qualifying backs. Miami has the lowest stuff rate allowed while giving up the seventh-highest rate of runs of five or more yards. The Dolphins have been a middling run defense, permitting the eighth-most missed tackles and 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Williams should also have a good day through the air against a team that allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and 12th-highest yards per reception to running backs last season.
