2023 Fantasy Outlook
Williams has been a key part of the Jets' defensive line since he was selected in the first round of the 2019 draft, though 2023 marked a breakout season for him. He played in a career-high 16 games and 665 snaps. While that didn't lead to a significant increase in raw tackle output, Williams posted 12 sacks after combining to record 15.5 sacks across his first three campaigns. New York rewarded him with a four-year, $96 million contract. Presumably, Williams will remain a big part of the team's pass rush as a result and is a decent bet to remain productive even if he can't exactly replicate 2022's stat line. Read Past Outlooks

Just 5.5 sacks in 2023

January 14, 2024
Williams finished the 2023 season with 5.5 sacks among his 62 tackles (39 solo) while adding an interception among his three passes defensed.
ANALYSIS
Even with 2.0 sacks in the season finale against the Patriots, Williams finished with his lowest total in that category since his 2.5-sack rookie season in 2019. The standout defensive tackle was named to the Pro Bowl nonetheless, as Williams set a new career high in tackles and picked up his first interception in the Week 6 win over the Eagles. Williams' presence on the interior frees up the team's pass rushers on the edge, and the engine that drives New York's defense will be back in 2024.

As easy as it is to look at Williams’ numbers and see nothing special, the finer details say an eruption is not far off. He just turned 24 in December and played through a shoulder issue last year, yet his per-snap production was very good, and if his snap count increases so will the other stats. If you prorate his stats from the last two years over 750 snaps you get about 75 tackles and nine sacks. It won’t be long now.
Williams is one of the league's top interior defensive line talents, and he might break out more properly in 2021 under new coach Robert Saleh. Saleh was hired in large part for his defensive background, and if the Jets defense improves it will have a lot to do with Williams' contributions. He quietly produced at a rapid rate last season, totaling 55 tackles and seven sacks on just 586 snaps. Williams should push for 750 snaps or more this season, and with that workload his ceiling is heightened accordingly. DL1 upside is possible in most IDP formats.
Williams' rookie season was disrupted by an ankle injury and a stinger, but the third overall selection in the 2019 draft still showed promise in his role as a rotational lineman. He finished with 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 13 games and should take on a significantly larger role in his second season if he can stay on the field. An offseason arrest for bringing luggage containing a weapon that was registered in Alabama into New York's LaGuardia Airport is not expected to impact Williams' availability, so expect him to hit the ground running when football activities begin.
Williams only started at Alabama for one year, but his performance in that season (eight sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss) was enough to rocket him up draft boards into the top three selections of 2019. Picked third overall by the Jets, the 6-3, 303-pound defensive lineman should help clog up running lanes while also generating an interior pass rush. While interior linemen haven't been premier IDP options in the past, Aaron Donald changed that thinking and Williams will be hoping to follow in his footsteps.
