K'Waun Williams Fantasy

Cornerback K'Waun Williams is reportedly close to signing a two-year, $7 million contract to join the Denver Broncos, giving the team a strong slot corner option. Williams appeared in 14 contests with San Francisco this past season, racking up 52 tackles, four passes defended, one interception, and one forced fumble. The 30-year-old has spent the past five years patrolling the 49ers' secondary, giving the Broncos defense a bonafide slot coverage man amidst a division teeming with strong wideout play. Denver's schedule may keep their defensive unit on the waiver wire in many season-long formats, but the team continues to amass talent that should make them an appealing DFS option in 2022 depending on their opponent.

San Francisco 49ers nickel cornerback K'Waun Williams, who recently visited with the Kansas City Chiefs, agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal to remain with the 49ers on Wednesday, according to a source. Williams also drew interest from the New York Jets. His career took off after joining the Niners in 2017, winning the job as the team's primary slot cornerback within a month. The 29-year-old played in only eight games last year due to knee and ankle injuries, though, recording 22 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. Williams has played in 51 games and has tallied 172 tackles, three interceptions and four sacks in his four seasons with San Francisco. The 49ers focused on retaining their own free agents this offseason, also re-signing left tackle Trent Williams, fullback Kyle Juszczyk and cornerback Jason Verrett.

The NFL rescinded San Francisco 49ers cornerback K'Waun Williams' two-game performance-enhancing drug suspension on Wednesday because of issues with the testing procedures, according to sources. Williams had stood by the fact that he never violated the league's policies on performance-enhancing drugs. It's good news for a 49ers Defense that can't afford to lose any more players this season. The 29-year-old defensive back dealt with an ACL sprain earlier this year and has just 14 tackles and two passes defensed in six games (three starts). San Francisco's defense is a fringe starting unit in 12- and 14-team leagues against a Rams offense that looked crisp against a tough Buccaneers Defense on Monday night.
