Trayveon Williams Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams (ankle) is almost ready to return from the right-ankle injury that he suffered 15 days ago, and he expects to return to training camp practice this week. Williams was in a walking boot after his injury but is now out of it and should return to the field soon, which will give him enough time to work his way into shape for Week 1 of the regular season. When healthy, the 25-year-old will compete with Chris Evans and rookie Chase Brown for the backup gig behind starter Joe Mixon in 2023. Williams had only six carries and two catches in 2022, so it's probably going to take an injury or two for him worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams (ankle) is expected to miss a couple of weeks after spraining his right ankle in a training camp practice on Tuesday, according to a source. Williams entered camp as the top option to be Joe Mixon's backup in 2023 after Samaje Perine joined Denver in the offseason. With Williams sidelined the next couple of weeks, rookie Chase Brown and Chris Evans will see more work in camp and the preseason behind Mixon. The 25-year-old Williams could still be ready in time for the start of the regular season, so he should still be considered the primary backup and handcuff in fantasy to Mixon.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams likely suffered a mild ankle sprain during practice on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Williams is expected to miss a couple of weeks, which could give rookie Chase Brown a leg up on the No. 2 running back role behind Joe Mixon. Neither Williams nor Brown project as anything more than a handcuff in redraft leagues.
