Summary
DeShawn Williams carries a 45.0 dynasty score, ranking 368 at DL. Williams’ 2024 season stats indicate a stable role with 8 solo tackles, while his 32-year-old age with 1 year remaining on his contract suggests a near-term decline is possible.
Projection Rationale
Williams’ 8 solo tackles in 2024 indicate a stable role, but his Verdict production grade at the 28th percentile suggests he may struggle to maintain his current level of production. His Verdict durability grade at the 82nd percentile and 1 year remaining on his contract indicate he should remain in a stable role.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Williams’ Verdict durability grade at the 82nd percentile indicates he has a low injury risk profile, but his 32-year-old age may increase his injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Williams’ snap share increased from 35.0% to 54.0% throughout the season, indicating an increase in playing time. However, his Verdict usage grade at the 55th percentile suggests he may not be in a primary role.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.0% blitz rate. This scheme may limit Williams’ ceiling, as he may not be in a position to make as many plays.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Williams’ snap share increased from 35.0% to 54.0% throughout the season, but his advanced stats remained stable, with 6 pressures and 2 hurries.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3, with Williams needing to maintain his snap share and advanced stats to reach this level. Floor: DL4-DL5, with Williams’ Verdict trade value at 1,260 and his 1 year remaining on his contract indicating he may not be a top-tier defensive lineman.
