Shawn Williams Fantasy Stats

Cincinnati Bengals safety Shawn Williams and Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Teair Tart were both tagged with a one-game suspension Monday following incidents in Week 13 which involved both players stepping on an opponent. Both players are reportedly expected to appeal their suspensions, although neither has played a consistently vital role in their respective defensive units during 2020. The Bengals Defense holds some of the smallest season-long fantasy appeal in the league due to their recent inability to compile sacks, while the Titans Defense has allowed at least 24 points in seven of their last eight games. Check back to see if either player gets their suspension overturned or reduced, but for now, plan on Cincinnati and Tennessee being a man down in Week 14.

The Cincinnati Bengals are optimistic that safety Shawn Williams (calf) could be back by Week 1 after he was carted off this week at practice with a calf injury. Defensive tackle Renell Wren (quadriceps) suffered a significant quad injury in practice on Monday and is seeking a second opinion as to whether he will need season-ending surgery. The 29-year-old Williams is a key piece of the team's secondary, having recorded a career-high 114 combined tackles last year. Williams also had one sack, one interception and three passes defensed. If healthy in 2020, he'll be in play as a low-end IDP starting defensive back.
