Dynasty Summary: While the 2016 class of running backs lacks clear separation outside of Ezekiell Elliot, what it does have is good size across the board. Williams is another back with ideal NFL size. He’s a downhill back who squares his shoulders early and is a determined runner through the line of scrimmage, willing to lower his shoulder to run through, or over, would be tacklers. He does tend to bounce his runs outside on occasion and while he does have decent agility, he doesn’t have the acceleration or speed to exploit the sidelines in the NFL. Look to select Williams late in the second round. If he falls to the third round, consider yourself lucky.
Rotoworld: 196. Where He Wins: Williams has played well in the new offense but is far too inconsistent for much fantasy value.
Mark Dulgerian: The draft slot does not match the talent here, but with his injury history, it makes sense. With exceptional feet, balance, power, and quickness Williams was among the best RBs in the SEC before sitting out 2015 with a foot injury. This could be a long-term steal if he stays healthy. --
