Dexter Williams Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams (knee), who was brought up from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the 49ers, will be out at least three weeks with an MCL sprain after undergoing an MRI exam, according to a source. Williams will be a candidate for Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old from Notre Dame ran the ball just twice against San Francisco for eight yards before suffering the knee injury. He was only brought up to the active roster because rookie A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams were out in Week 9 because of COVID-19 protocols. Williams wasn't a realistic fantasy play on Thursday night with Aaron Jones and Tyler Ervin ahead of him, and he'll likely revert back to the practice squad when he's healthy.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams (knee) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (concussion) were both injured on Thursday night against the 49ers and have been ruled out for the rest of the game. Williams, who was elevated from the practice squad with A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams out due to COVID-19, rushed the ball just twice for eight yards before departing. Alexander, the team's top cornerback, left the game after taking a hard hit to the helmet while attempting a tackle. With Green Bay up 31-3 near the end of the third quarter, it doesn't make any sense to rush either player back into the ball game. Williams and Alexander will have extra time to heal up before the Week 10 contest against the Jaguars, although Williams may head back to the practice squad if Dillon and Jamaal Williams clear the COVID-19 protocols next week.

The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 back on the team's depth chart. Jamaal Williams isn't much of a fantasy option at this point outside of being a deep-league dart throw in case of injuries to Dillon or starter Aaron Jones, while Dexter Williams is undraftable and isn't likely to find himself a consistent NFL role in 2020. His most likely landing spot is the Packers practice squad.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams led the team in carries in the final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Williams finished the game with 34 yards and one touchdown, from nine carries. Williams was also able to haul in his two targets for another 30 yards in the air. Williams has limited fantasy relevance this season, as he is at best the third player on the depth chart behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. However, Dexter Williams could be a good waiver wire pickup if either of those players misses time through injury.

Green Bay Packers running back Tra Carson is ahead of rookie Dexter Williams on the depth chart because of his work in pass protection, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Williams will have a chance to climb the depth chart as the season wears on, but to begin he's behind Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams and Carson. He's strictly one to stash in dynasty/keeper leagues for now.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams struggled to make an impact in the team's third preseason matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Williams was given the ball 11 times, rushing for 27 yards and caught a single pass for five yards. Williams still looks to be the leading contender for the third roster spot, behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Dexter Williams is only likely to have fantasy value this season if one of the two players ahead of him missed time.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams has a chance to make an impact this season. Fellow running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams have struggled with fitness during the offseason and are yet to take the field. Dexter Williams may have fumbled in the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, but given the struggles of the other players in camp- Williams should be set to be the next man up in the new offense in Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams was given a limited workload in a loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Williams finished with five yards on the floor from three attempts and caught one of his two targets for four yards. Williams has impressed in camp and looks to be the team's third option behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Dexter Williams is only likely to be fantasy relevant if the two players ahead of him are injured and is far more likely to be a waiver wire pickup than drafted.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams has had some recent struggles in catching the ball in practice. Williams was given the opportunity to lead the team at the position in the opening preseason game against the Houston Texans, given the injuries to Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, and performed well. However, if an injury were to hit either of the players ahead of him then Williams' upside could be capped depending on how he performs catching the ball. While Williams is unlikely to be drafted his season in most fantasy leagues, he is worth monitoring for waiver wire consideration during the season.

Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams operated as the teams lead running back in the opening preseason game against the Houston Texans. Williams was likely to be given the nod to led the charge, given the injuries to starter Aaron Jones and backup Jamaal Williams, but took the opportunity with both hands. Williams rushed for 62 yards from 14 attempts, averaging 4.4 yards per carry- while also catching his single target for 18 yards in the air. Williams is likely the team's third option at the position, so his fantasy relevance is limited. However, performances like this mean that he could be relied upon as a waiver-wire option. Especially if either of the two backs in front of him where to be injured in season.
