Dexter Williams

Williams has yo-yo'd on and off Green Bay's roster for two years. Last year he got a late-season start with the Packers' backfield struggling with injuries; he injured his knee after two touches. It's possible the team could bring back Williams and place him on the practice squad since he's familiar with the Packers offense. 

Williams, Green Bay's sixth-round pick in 2019, was only called up from the practice squad in Week 9 since both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams were unavailable against the 49ers. With Jones potentially walking in free agency, however, there's a chance Williams opens the 2021 season as the team's No. 2 back. He turned 24 on January 4.

Williams was ruled out in the third quarter. Williams' role was extremely limited with the Packers giving Aaron Jones more work than expected. Regardless of the severity of Williams' ailment, he can be immediately dropped in fantasy leagues where he was added as a desperation FLEX. Jamaal Williams (COVID-19) and AJ Dillon (COVID-19) figure to be back for Week 10 against the Jaguars. 

This was expected with the Packers down at least two running backs. Williams, 23, played in four games for Green Bay in 2019 after being drafted in the sixth round. He's unlikely to get any run if Aaron Jones (calf) is active for Thursday Night Football. Williams would probably play behind Tyler Ervin if Jones is inactive against the 49ers. Fantasy managers should try to find a superior option for Week 9.
