Williams playing like early-second-round pick with career-best receiving production.

Williams sits as RB6 through four weeks after landing in the third round for draft season, but is playing like an early-second-round pick. His receiving work has spiked dramatically—6-70-0 at Denver in Week 3 and 10-76-0 against Philadelphia in Week 4 represent the best receiving games of his five-year career. He now ranks second among all running backs in targets, receptions, and yards behind only Jahmyr Gibbs. The source notes Williams always held borderline RB1 value on 60% backfield touches, but the shift in usage makes him worthy of reevaluation as a potential early-second-round performer.
