Jonathan Williams Fantasy Stats

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams (concussion) reverted to the practice squad ahead of Week 16 versus the New York Jets. The 29-year-old suffered the injury last Sunday when he played a season-high 22 percent of offensive snaps but registered just one carry. With both Williams and Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) unavailable, the Commanders may enter this week's contest with just two healthy running backs, Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams (head) didn't return to Sunday's matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. With Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) unavailable, Williams was in the lineup for Week 15. However, he was ruled out with a concussion, ending his day with one carry for negative yardage. At any rate, Williams was on the field versus the Rams for depth purposes, so the injury won't impact fantasy managers heading into the Week 16 meeting with the New York Jets.

The Washington Commanders are placing veteran running back Jonathan Williams (undisclosed) on injured reserve. That means rookie sixth-round pick Chris Rodriguez Jr. wins the No. 3 running back job, behind Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson. The 29-year-old Williams started two games for the Commanders in 2022, ending the season with 37 carries for 152 yards. He also caught seven passes for 40 yards in 13 games.

Washington Commanders running backs Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson are at the top of the team's RB depth chart, with Jonathan Williams operating as the No. 3 option. Meanwhile, rookie sixth-rounder Chris Rodriguez Jr. is just trying to get as many repetitions as possible heading into his first NFL season. Williams may have to hold off Rodriguez and Jaret Patterson for touches in 2023 behind Robinson and Gibson, but the 29-year-old can also contribute on special teams. In his second year with Washington in 2022, Williams had 37 carries for 152 yards and caught seven passes for 40 yards in 13 games (two starts). Unless one of Robinson or Gibson miss time with an injury, Williams will remain off the fantasy radar this year.

Free-agent running back Jonathan Williams has agreed to a one-year deal to remain in Washington. The 29-year-old was used sparingly outside special teams last season, finishing with 152 yards off 37 carries while amassing seven catches for 40 yards. Williams' role with the Commanders likely won't change, so he won't see much interest from managers during fantasy drafts heading into Week 1.

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams should see an increased workload against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18. Washington will be without their two top running backs, Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson, for the final week of the season. That moves the 28-year-old into the position of top back as he already saw decent usage without Gibson in the lineup during Week 17. For fantasy managers playing for championships in Week 18, Williams could be a solid play, even with the tougher matchup against Dallas' defense. Consider him a decent RB2 this week.

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams is in line to be the featured running back in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys, as Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) and Antonio Gibson (foot) have been ruled out. Gibson underwent foot surgery, while Robinson's injury is considered to be more minor. The Cowboys have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, and with rookie quarterback Sam Howell making his first career start, Williams' touchdown upside will be limited. Jaret Patterson will also likely see some work behind Williams.

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams had nine carries for 30 yards along with three receptions for three yards in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns. As a third-string running back, Williams was able to fill in during Week 17 with fellow back Antonio Gibson being ruled out with an injury. Due to the Commanders losing this matchup, they are now eliminated from the playoffs heading into Week 18. With the team not playing for anything in the final week of the season, they could give more work to the 28-year-old. For Week 18 fantasy managers, Williams is a name to monitor on waivers.

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams had five carries for 48 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to this matchup, the 28-year-old had only one carry in Washington's first three games. But for whatever reason, Ron Rivera felt the need to further complicate this running back room by giving Williams touches in Week 4. However, the journeyman back was the most efficient runner in this backfield, averaging 9.6 yards per carry. With rookie running back Brian Robinson reentering the fold, it is unlikely that we see Williams having an expanded role, making this performance more of an anomaly.

The Washington Football Team signed running back Jonathan Williams and cornerback Corn Elder to one-year deals on Tuesday. Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed. Williams and Elder will remain with Washington through the 2022 season. Williams, 27, played in just five games in 2021 and had 17 carries for 79 yards and one touchdown while also catching four passes for an additional 28 yards in the passing game. Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and rookie Jaret Patterson were ahead of Williams on the RB depth chart, so it's no surprise that he didn't see the field much. There's a chance that Williams could move up the depth chart if McKissic goes elsewhere in free agency, but Williams still wouldn't be attractive in single-year fantasy leagues.
