News: 9 hours agoWilliams is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons after aggravating a groin injury this week, per Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Spin: Williams opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back capped sessions before ending it with a DNP on Friday. He thus appears to be truly questionable following comments from interim coach Darren Rizzi, who said Williams isn't likely to play Sunday, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Assuming Williams is deemed inactive about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Jordan Mims will be the running back to see action whenever starter Alvin Kamara needs a breather.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Williams backed up Alvin Kamara while rookie Kendre Miller spent most of the season on the injury report. Coming off a career year in 2022 when he scored 17 TDs with Detroit, Williams did very little with his 106 carries last season, averaging 2.9 yards per tote and scoring just one meaningless (and controversial) touchdown in Week 18. That makes him tough to roster in fantasy, outside of being an insurance policy for Kamara's fantasy managers. Miller should come into this season healthy, which will further hinder Williams.
