Jonah Williams Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Jonah Williams reportedly bulked up during the offseason. Currently weighing in at around 315 pounds, a 10-pound increase from last season, the 23-year-old hopes the added bulk will make him better equipped to handle opposing defenders. With Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon both suffering season-ending injuries during the 2020-21 campaign, Cincy's offensive unit will undoubtedly benefit from Williams' increase in strength and size.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed rookie offensive tackle Jonah Williams (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, likely ending his season. The good news is that Williams will not need surgery, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Cornerback Darius Phillips was activated from IR in a corresponding move. Williams will be out for at least the next three games, and with just four games left in the season, the team's first-round selection (11th overall) could easily have played his last snap in his rookie campaign. The Bengals last two first-rounders have finished the season on IR. The loss of the 23-year-old from Alabama is more bad news for a bad offensive line and won't make life easy on either quarterback Brandon Allen or Ryan Finley the rest of the way. Cincy does have a good matchup on the ground against Dallas in Week 14, though, so perhaps running back Giovani Bernard can put up some useful fantasy numbers.

Cincinnati Bengals first-round offensive tackle Jonah Williams is "dinged up" and isn't participating in minicamp, according to head coach Zac Taylor. The team isn't speculating on the severity of the injury, but Williams will visit with doctors. Williams was drafted early with the expectation that he'd serve as the starting left tackle in his rookie season, but this injury could put a wrench in those plans. New guard John Jerry could be worked in on the blind side after he was signed on Monday.
