Here’s our expert outlook and rankings for Darrel Williams.
Darrel Williams should compete with Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram immediately for the primary backup role behind James Conner. Williams should be considered the early favorite. While he’s not an efficient runner of the football, he was exquisite in the passing game in 2021. He ranked outside the top 40 backs in true yards per carry, juke rate, evaded tackles and breakaway run rate. Williams was 12th in yards per route run, which helped fuel his No. 12 ranking in yards per touch. Conner should still be considered the workhorse, but Williams could steal some routes and touches as the season progresses. If Conner goes down, he proved that he could perform in an every-down role last year.
