Health issues continue to plague Williams, impacting his ability to play heavy minutes on an ongoing basis. Although he did play 60 games during the 2025-26 season, Williams averaged just 23.6 minutes per game, putting up 11.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.8 combined steals and blocks. This made him a top 75 asset on a per-game basis, which obviously makes him a viable asset across all formats. However, ongoing limitations could stick around, which makes him a risky target for fantasy managers. At this point, his competition for minutes will come from Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach. While Ighodaro is serviceable, at best, Maluach is far more intriguing and is coming off an impressive showing in the recent Summer League. While Williams is likely to open the season as the starting center, the rotation is something managers will want to monitor closely. Considering all the risk factors, Williams is likely to go off the board slightly later than expected, somewhere in the eighth or even ninth round.
