D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams has five tackles

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams was held to five catches Saturday at Buffalo in Week 16. He had four solo tackles.
Analysis: Williams remains a quality LB in IDP leagues and should remain active in all formats in Week 17 against Kansas City.

12/11/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams has active Week 14

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams had arguably his best game of the season in the Broncos’ 13-10 Week 14 overtime victory over the Bears. The eight year veteran had nine tackles (all solo), two sacks, four tackles for a loss, and two quarterback hurries in the game.
Analysis: Williams has not been having a season up to his standards, largely because he has been dealing with an elbow injury throughout the year. He still has 75 tackles with an outside shot at 100 with three games remaining, and is just a half sack away from tying his career high. He has started to step up his play and is a quality option in the majority of Fantasy IDP formats.

D.J. Williams

Williams surging recently

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams posted nine tackles during the Broncos' 35-32 win over Minnesota in Week 13. Williams has now racked up 21 total tackles over his past two games as he continues to put his early season inconsistencies and injuries behind him.
Analysis: At the beginning of the year, it appeared Williams was going to have a difficult time topping 100 tackles for the third straight season. He was bothered by an elbow issue and eclipsed eight tackles only once over his first five outings. Now, the veteran has returned to his strong ability and could make a late-season run. Consider him a quality option in the majority of Fantasy IDP formats.

11/27/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams leads the way

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams was all over the field in Week 12 against the Chargers. Williams finished with a team-high 12 tackles in the 16-13 overtime win, with 10 of his stops credited as solos. He now has 56 tackles on the season.
Analysis: Williams was all over the field on Sunday and finally was able to finish with double-digit tackles for the first time this season. The former University of Miami standout seems to finally be rounding into form after dealing with an elbow injury for the first few months of the season and looks poised for a strong finish. Continue to view the veteran as a viable Fantasy LB in the majority of IDP formats moving forward.

11/18/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams tallies five tackles

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams recorded five tackles, four solo, in Week 11 against New York. The Broncos would win the game, 17-13.
Analysis: Williams has registered 44 tackles and three sacks on the year for Denver. Fantasy owners in IDP formats should continue to view him as a solid LB choice moving forward.

11/13/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams solid against Chiefs

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams played well Sunday at Kansas City in Week 10. Williams had nine tackles, including seven solo, with a sack and a forced fumble. Williams now has 39 tackles and three sacks on the season.
Analysis: Williams remains a solid LB in all IDP leagues. Continue to start him in all formats in Week 11 against the Jets on Thursday night.

11/6/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams remains consistent

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams had four tackles and a pass defended during the Broncos' 38-24 victory over Oakland in Week 9. Williams recorded four tackles for the second game in a row and now has 30 stops in five games this season.
Analysis: Williams batted down his first pass of the season as he continues to return to full strength following an elbow injury at the beginning of the year. The 29-year-old has two sacks, a total which should rise before the end of the season. Consider him a viable option in Fantasy IDP formats.

10/30/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams has season-low in tackles

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams totaled four tackles (two solo) and one quarterback hit in Week 8 vs. Detroit. The four tackles were a season-low.
Analysis: Williams has played just four games after missing the first three due to injury. And despite a poor statistical outing Week 8, Williams has done pretty well since returning to the lineup. He remains a viable Fantasy play in IDP formats.

10/23/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams stays busy in Miami

News: Playing back in South Florida, where he went to school, Broncos LB D.J. Williams totaled five tackles with a sack and a forced fumble at the Dolphins in Week 7.
Analysis: Williams should be good for decent tackle totals with some additional stats thrown in. Definitely consider him a low-end No. 2 Fantasy LB for his matchup vs. the Lions in Week 8.

10/9/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams paces Broncos

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams paced his team with nine tackles, seven solo, in Week 5 against San Diego. Williams also recorded his first sack of the season in the Broncos 29-24 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Williams has 17 tackles through two games. He missed some time this year with an elbow injury, but seems fine now. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should have a replacement for him next Sunday as Denver is on a bye. But when he returns, Williams should be viewed as a solid LB option.

10/3/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams leads Broncos' D

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams led his team with eight tackles, seven solo, in Week 4 against Green Bay. The Broncos lost the game, 49-23. Williams was dealing with an elbow injury during the week.
Analysis: Williams looked good on Sunday, but that was his first action of the season. Perhaps he'll be able to give Von Miller some help on defense and get Denver on track. But one good game doesn't mean he should be thrown into those lineups yet. Williams should be viewed as more of a No. 4 LB option in IDP Fantasy leagues.

10/2/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams takes field for Denver

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams was active for Week 4. He's been dealing with an elbow injury.
Analysis: Williams was active last week, but didn't play. Fantasy owners should keep him on the bench until he plays and proves he's 100 percent. When healthy, he can be a viable LB option in IDP leagues.

9/30/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

LB Williams probable Week 4

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams (elbow) is listed as probable for Week 4 at Green Bay.
Analysis: Williams was active Week 3, but he didn't play and has yet to appear in a game this season. That could change Week 4, but since we aren't sure how much Williams will play, he still remains a bit of a risky Fantasy start. He is usually a viable Fantasy LB when healthy.

9/25/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams active for Week 3 game

News: The Broncos got a boost to the defense for Week 3 at Tennessee as LB D.J. Williams was active for the game. Williams returned to action for the first time since suffering a dislocated right elbow back in the preseason on Aug. 27.
Analysis: Williams will help the Broncos' run defense and have a shot at some decent stat totals in Fantasy IDP leagues. Still, until we really know what to expect from him this season, he could be best left on waivers.

9/23/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams might play Sunday

News: Broncos OLB D.J. Williams practiced for three straight days, coming back from a dislocated elbow, but he has been limited. "If we deem him healthy, that is our medical staff, then we'll play him," coach John Fox said. The fact Williams missed significant practice time and hasn't gone through a full week of workouts also will factor into the decision
Analysis: Williams would help the Broncos' run defense and have a shot at some decent stat totals if active. Fantasy owners could peep him on waivers but not make him a part of active rosters.

9/16/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN LB Williams won't return Week 2

D.J. Williams

LB Williams won't return Week 2

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bengals. He also sat out Week 1.
Analysis: Williams didn't practice all week and we still have no timetable for his activation. He is going to be a key part of the Broncos defense when healthy and a viable Fantasy LB, so make sure to stash him in all IDP formats.

D.J. Williams

Williams sidelined for opener

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams did not practice again Saturday and was listed as out on the team's injury report for Monday's game against Oakland. Williams, who suffered a dislocated elbow during the preseason, did not practice at all during the past week.
Analysis: Williams may also miss the Broncos' second game of the season as a result of the elbow injury, a big blow to the team's defense. The 29-year-old registered 119 tackles last season -- the fourth time he's finished with at least 100. Fantasy owners should continue to stash Williams as he makes for a solid option in IDP leagues when healthy.

D.J. Williams

Williams may miss season opener

News: The Denver Post reports Sunday that Broncos LB D.J. Williams, who dislocated his elbow in Saturday's preseason game, could be out for the next month. ”I’ll be all right,” he said. Williams has led the team in tackles in each of the last two seasons.
Analysis: Williams is not only in danger of missing the opener, but he may be out of luck for the team's second game as well. Fantasy owners should keep an close eye on his progress going forward, thoguh it doesn't look good. Williams has a ton of Fantasy value when healthy, considering he finished 2010 as the No. 9 overall scoring LB in CBSSports.com leagues just ahead of Patrick Willis. The University of Miami product is still worth a mid-round pick on Draft Day in IDP leagues.

1/3/2011

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams big again

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams turned in another solid defensive outing in Week 17, finishing with two sacks in the Broncos' 33-28 loss to San Diego on Sunday. Williams accounted for two of Denver's five sacks on Chargers QB Philip Rivers to post his first multi-sack game of the season. He recorded a career high 5 1/2 sacks this season.
Analysis: Williams added three tackles in the season finale to finish with 119 stops this year and his fourth season with at least 114 tackles. The hulking linebacker will continue to be one of the NFL's premier defenders next season as the Broncos recover from injuries that devastated the defense in their disappointing 4-12 season. Consider him one of the top linebackers in Fantasy IDP draft for 2011.

12/26/2010

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Four more tackles for Williams

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams notched four solo tackles in Week 16 against the Texans. He now has 116 tackles on the season to go along with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
Analysis: Williams is enjoying another solid season and has now put together three consecutive 100-plus tackle seasons. He is one of the vocal leaders on the Broncos defense and can be considered a solid Fantasy LB in all IDP formats heading into Week 17.

12/19/2010

D.J. Williams, OLB, DEN

D.J. Williams

Williams leads to way for Denver

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams led his team in tackles in Week 15 against the Raiders. He recorded eight tackles and also had two passes defended in the 39-23 loss.
Analysis: Williams continues to be solid play in IDP formats and has collected 100 tackles this season for the fourth time in his career. While he does not pick many passes off, he has 3.5 sacks with seven passes defended. Continue to view the former Hurricane as a solid option heading into Week 16 against the Texans.

Williams fuels Broncos

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams registered a team-high eight sacks in the Broncos' 43-13 loss at Arizona in Week 14. Williams has now recorded at least eight tackles in his last three games.
Analysis: Williams, who was shaken up in Denver's loss in Week 13, showed no effects an injury and led the team in tackles for the eighth game this season. He is a worthwhile Fantasy option in IDP leagues for the Broncos' Week 15 matchup at Oakland.

D.J. Williams

Williams has nine tackles

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams played well Sunday against Denver in Week 13. Williams had nine tackles, including seven solo. Williams now has 96 total tackles on the season. He also has an apparent elbow injury, according to the Denver Post, but he did not miss any significant time in the game.
Analysis: Williams is a solid source of tackles in all leagues. He should remain active in Week 14 in all IDP formats at Arizona as long as his elbow is OK. Consider him a No. 2 option against the Cardinals.

Williams paces Broncos in loss

News: Denver LB D.J. Williams was a question mark entering Week 12, but was given the green light before the game. He didn't show any signs or lingering effects from a concussion as he made a team-high eight tackles against the Rams. He also had two defended passes in the 36-33 loss.
Analysis: Williams is a leader for the Broncos and leads the team in tackles as well. It seems the Broncos will be playing a lot of defense in games (St. Louis held the ball for 34 minutes in Week 12), which will give plenty of chances for Williams to make plays. With the team facing the Chiefs in Week 13, he should get a heavy dose of the run. Fantasy owners should keep him active in all IDP leagues.

Williams active for Denver

News: Broncos LB D.J. Williams was active for Week 12 and Denver's matchup with St. Louis. He was limited in practice all week as he recovered from a concussion.
Analysis: Williams leads the team in tackles and is a must-start Fantasy LB in IDP leagues. Keep him active for Week 12.
