2020 Fantasy Outlook
While the surface numbers say Williams had his most productive season yet in the NFL - posting career highs with 4.3 YPC and 39 catches while tying the six total touchdowns he scored as a rookie - it's likely 2019 was his high-water mark. Aaron Jones definitively emerged as the Packers' top backfield option, and while Williams' blocking and receiving skills allowed him to be plugged in as Jones' sub in just about any situation, a lack of speed and elusiveness mean he has little upside. Williams will get the yards the offensive line and scheme create for him, but not much else. His surprising spike in receiving touchdowns also seems unsustainable, as four of his five scores came during a four-game stretch in which Davante Adams Aaron Rodgers' preferred red-zone target - was on the shelf or at less than 100 percent healthy. With 2020 second-round pick AJ Dillon (6-0, 247) also in the mix and likely to handle whatever goal-line carries Jones doesn't get, Williams looks headed for a reduced role. Read Past Outlooks

Wants to stay in Green Bay
Williams said Monday that he'd "really love to just be a Packer all my life if I could," Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams and regular backfield mate Aaron Jones (chest) are both set to hit free agency this offseason, but given the Packers' constrained salary cap situation, it seems unlikely that either player will get an offer from the team that would match what they could find on the open market. The 25-year-old has been a particularly effective complement to Jones over the last two seasons, having logged at least 700 yards from scrimmage and over 4.0 YPC in both campaigns. The presence of 2020 second-round pick AJ Dillon, who is widely expected to have a larger role next season, could make it easier for the Packers to let Williams walk.

Jerry Donabedian breaks down his strategy for a best-ball tournament, building a team around Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas and a couple other Saints.

The Eagles aren't likely to reach the playoffs in 2021, but they should be an interesting team for fantasy purposes, rebuilding around Jalen Hurts and Dallas Goedert on offense.

Jerry Donabedian dives into 2021 NFL best ball, picking 12th in his first draft of the year. With running backs flying off the board in the early rounds, there was value to be had at QB and WR.

Brief histories on the head coaches and coordinators for all 32 teams, including the fantasy takeaways of their respective coaching ideologies.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
2017
Williams' second season in the NFL was similar to his first. His grinding running style and lack of speed led to another year of less than 4.0 YPC, and Aaron Jones' performance cleared up any doubt about who should be the Packers' No. 1 RB. Williams has his uses, particularly in short-yardage situations, but he was less effective as a receiver than he had been as a rookie and simply doesn't have the big-play upside of Jones. The front office did little to bolster the depth chart behind the duo in the offseason, only adding Dexter Williams to the running back mix and waiting until the sixth round to do so, so the more veteran Williams will once again play second fiddle to Jones and handle the grunt work in the trenches. Aside from a prolonged injury absence for Jones, the best-case scenario for Jamaal Williams involves an increase in his goal-line work that leads to more TDs (he saw only two carries inside the 5-yard line in 2018). Of course, the Packers tend to lean on Aaron Rodgers in the red zone, and Williams hasn't made any real case to change that.
