Joejuan Williams has been released by the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Williams, a former second-round pick, had a chance at making the roster in this thin cornerback room, but he is being cut and will ultimately go back on the open market. He has some in-game experience and high draft capital, however, so there's a decent chance that he lands on some team's practice squad before the season begins.

Patriots cornerback Joejuan Williams has suffered a season ending shoulder injury according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

Williams was the Patriot’s third-round pick (45th overall) in the 2019 draft but has started just one game over his first three seasons. The lose of Williams will not have a huge impact on New England’s defense that begins the season ranked DST6. Williams was entering the fourth year of his rookie contract and will become a free agent next March. This injury likely ends his time in New England and his lack of career results puts the Vanderbilt-product’s NFL future in jeopardy as well.

The New England Patriots have selected former Vanderbilt CB JoeJuan Williams with the 45th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft after acquiring the pick from the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

New England traded up to select Williams, who should slot in as an immediate starter. At 6’4, he’s a hulking figure in the secondary who gained a reputation in college as a true shut-down corner.
