Summary
Chris Williams carries a 49.0 dynasty score, ranking 319 at DL. At age 27, Williams’ floor is established as he approaches free agency without a contract extension.
Projection Rationale
Williams’ 1 sack in 2025 indicates a possible return to his 2024 form. However, his Verdict efficiency grade at the 61st percentile suggests room for improvement. With his contract expiring, Williams’ role security is uncertain, making it difficult to project his future performance.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Williams’ Verdict durability grade at the 91st percentile suggests he is durable and less prone to injuries.
Opportunity Notes
Williams’ snap share trended down to a season average of 22.8%, and with the new coaching staff, his role may undergo changes, affecting his overall performance.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jeff Ulbrich coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 33.9% blitz rate. The defense’s zone-heavy Cover-3 scheme may limit Williams’ pass-rush opportunities, making him more of a run-stopper.
Trend Assessment
Declining. The defensive tackle’s snap share decreased from 32.0% in Week 2 to a season average of 22.8%, a trend that continued throughout the season.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3. If Williams regains his 2024 form and the Falcons increase their blitz rate, he could reach the top tier. Floor: DL4-DL5. With his contract expiring and a potential decline in snap share, Williams’ performance will likely be influenced by external factors.
Comparable Player
Rodney Bailey, 1994-1998.
