Joejuan Williams Fantasy

New England Patriots cornerback Joejuan Williams (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out for the entire 2022 season, according to a source. The former second-round pick had been a depth piece for the Patriots secondary. Williams had 21 tackles (15 solo) and five passes defensed in 12 games (one start) for New England last year, and he's recorded 44 tackles (31 solo) and eight passes defensed in 36 games (one start) in his three seasons with the Patriots. The 24-year-old's season-ending injury is definitely a blow to the team's defensive back depth entering the season.

New England Patriots defensive back Joejuan Williams has been working regularly with the safeties in practice of late at training camp and has been taking all of his meetings with the group as well. Williams' length on the field could come in handy when defending opposing tight ends. The Pats traded up to take Williams 45th overall in the second round of the 2019 draft. He played in nine games in his rookie season and had just five combined tackles and one pass defensed. However, the Vanderbilt product stands at 6-foot-4 and could see his stock rise with a move to safety, where he can be more physical. Head coach Bill Belichick loves his defenders to be versatile, and Williams can play both corner and safety.

New England Patriots defensive back Joejuan Williams is increasing his value through versatility this offseason. He played 82 defensive snaps last season, which is mostly due to the fact that the Pats were stacked in the secondary. The former second-round pick from 2019 will look to carve out a role as a versatile rotational player. He will likely play both defensive back and safety for the Pats next season. Williams is not expected to have a huge role on the team, but playing multiple positions should help him get on the field more often.
