James Williams carries a 43.0 dynasty score, ranking 394 at DB. Williams produced 14 solo tackles and 1 sack in 2025, but his efficiency and usage grades are mediocre. He will enter the 2027 season at age 25 with 3 years remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Williams’s 14 solo tackles and 1 sack in 2025 indicate a steady role, but his efficiency and usage grades suggest room for improvement. His Verdict efficiency grade is at the 50th percentile, and his usage grade is at the 49th percentile. Williams has 3 years remaining on his contract, providing stability in his role.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Williams’s Verdict durability grade is at the 85th percentile, which is a high durability profile for a 23-year-old player.
Opportunity Notes
Williams played 100% of defensive snaps in 2025. His role is secure, but the Titans’ 4-3 scheme with a zone-heavy coverage may limit his ceiling.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Gus Bradley coordinates a zone-heavy 4-3 defense with a 15.7% blitz rate. This scheme may limit Williams’s ability to rush the quarterback, but his role in the Titans’ secondary is secure.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Williams’s production and efficiency grades remain consistent, but his durability and usage grades have plateaued.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB3. For Williams to reach this ceiling, he must improve his efficiency and usage grades. Floor: DB5.
