Williams has accounted for 464 total yards and five touchdowns over the last five weeks. He has become the go-to running back in this offense with injuries depleting Green Bay’s offense. That includes fellow running back Aaron Jones, who is out this week with a knee injury.
As for the Lions, they will be very deflated in Week 17 after a gut-wrenching loss to the Cincinnati Bengals killed their postseason hopes. They lost in Cincinnati in large part because they are horrific at stopping opposing running backs.
Fantasy Advice: Williams is set to face a Lions defense that is allowing the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season, making them a great fantasy matchup for whichever running back they’re facing. It is Williams’ turn to have a big outing, so start him this Sunday.
