2020 Defense Projections
2019 Fantasy Outlook
Williams has been a productive but not dominant player since being selected sixth overall in 2015, but the defensive lineman's statistical impact has been limited by double teams on a Jets team that has lacked talent around him. As a result, Williams has just 89 tackles and seven sacks in the past two seasons combined after posting 68 tackles and seven sacks in 2016 alone. New York invested heavily on defense in free agency and in the draft, so Williams should get more room to wreak havoc in the opposing backfield. Read Past Outlooks

Williams is getting a franchise tag from the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dealt from the Jets to the Giants at the trade deadline, Williams recorded 26 tackles, a half-sack and a forced fumble in eight games with his new team. The production doesn't exactly sound tag-worthy, but he does have a solid track record of generating interior pressure, with 16 or more QB hits in each of his five NFL seasons. His inability to turn those pressures into sacks has been a consistent source of frustration, however.

Williams hasn't been a flashy presence in the NFL – even the best 3-4 ends tend not to be – but there's still plenty of reason to believe he's one of the league's most talented linemen. Last year's disappointing box score is probably explained by playing through wrist, concussion, and bank issues at various points, because in the two prior seasons Williams averaged 60-plus tackles and five sacks per year. He'll be just 24 in June, so expect him to bounce back.
