Darious Williams Fantasy

Former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Darious Williams is expected to finalize a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a source. Williams, 29, should be a huge boost to Jacksonville's suspect secondary. Williams is a much better real-life player than a fantasy one, although he did have a career-high 71 tackles (60 solo), three tackles for loss, nine passes defensed and one fumble recovery in 14 games (13 starts) for the Rams last year. The Alabama-Birmingham product has started 26 of his 46 career games over four NFL seasons and he has six total interceptions and 130 total tackles (111 solo) over that span.

The Los Angeles Rams extended a first-round tender on standout impending restricted free-agent cornerback Darious Williams on Monday, according to a source. Williams is one of the team's rising stars after he recorded four interceptions, 44 tackles and 14 passes defended in 16 games during the regular season last year. If Williams accepts the offer, he'll make $4.766 million in 2021. The 28-year-old was an undrafted free agent out of Alabama-Birmingham but is now firmly part of the team's plans moving forward after he impressed last season. He spent his rookie season with the Ravens and the Rams in 2018 before seeing action in 12 games (three starts) and recording 15 tackles, two interceptions, four passes defensed and one fumble recovery for a touchdown in 2019. Williams has six career interceptions in just 32 games played.
