Williams has the least wear and tear on the top five list, and that is one of the many reasons he resides at 5th on our list. Williams has proven to be an excellent player whether he is filling in full-time for Aaron Jones or sharing time; he is one of the top three-down players in the NFL. Williams is a solid receiver and can pass block at a high level. He may not have the accolades that others possess or the name cache, but he is a player to keep an eye on. We are likely the outlier rating his value somewhere in the top 16 to 20 range of average salary among RB's. Still, we are comfortable with the projection and believe he is in prime territory to maximize his value.
