Brandon Williams
DT -
This Week Outlook
Availability
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Ravens DT Brandon Williams (ankle) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Calais Campbell (calf) is expected to play as well. These are major reinforcements for Baltimore's defense. The Ravens D/ST is a high-end start against a depleted Cowboys offensive line.
Ravens DT Brandon Williams (ankle) is inactive for Wednesday's Week 12 game against the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was recently activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list but his ankle still isn't ready to go. Baltimore's run D should receive a slight downgrade as a result of his absence.
Baltimore Ravens DT Brandon Williams tested positive for COVID-19 and has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Fantasy Impact
Williams is the first Ravens player to test positive for COVID-19 this season. According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, the Ravens and Eagles game is still scheduled to be played on Sunday.
Williams totaled five tackles (four solo) and managed one quarterback hit on Michael Vick.
Fantasy Impact
Ravens' starting DT Brandon Williams entered this game as a top ten defensive lineman in many leagues and likely solidified his position with his five tackle night against Pittsburgh. Owners should feel confident starting Williams next week against the Browns.
Williams recorded eight tackles (four solo) and two tackles for loss against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
For an inside guy, Brandon Williams has put up fairly impressive tackle numbers this season, with a total of 16 tackles to his credit. He's only gotten behind the line of scrimmage on two TFLs so far but clearly has the ability to produce and will likely come up with the sack before too long. Williams is a worthy fantasy defensive line starter in IDP leagues.
