The Cardinals signed Williams to their active roster Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for three straight games with Zach Ertz (knee) sidelined. However, Williams totaled just one reception for seven yards during those contests, as Trey McBride has operated as the top tight end. Williams figures to continue garnering a solid role in Arizona's offense, but barring injuries, he remains irrelevant in fantasy.

Williams reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Williams received the bump up to the active roster with Zach Ertz (knee) out for Monday's loss to the Patriots. Despite seeing 15 offensive snaps, the 28-year-old once again failed to draw a single target or tally any stats. With Ertz out for the remainder of the season, it's likely that Williams finds himself back on Arizona's 53-man roster again. His next opportunity to suit up will now be Sunday in Denver.

Williams was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad ahead of Monday's game with the Patriots, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will suit up Monday after receiving his third consecutive elevation to the active roster. The 28-year-old has seen 29 offensive snaps over his last two appearances, while catching his only target for a seven-yard gain. He's likely a very deep tournament play at best in single-game DFS contests for Week 14.

Williams reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Williams received the bump up to the active roster with Zach Ertz (knee) out for Sunday's loss to the Chargers. Despite seeing 17 snaps on offense, Williams failed to see a target or tally any stats. With Ertz out for the remainder of the season, there's a good chance Williams finds himself on the active roster again. With the Cardinals headed into a bye week, his next opportunity will be Week 14 against the Patriots.

The Cardinals elevated Williams from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the second week in a row, the Cards will use one of three potential elevations on Williams. On Monday against the 49ers in Mexico City, he ranked second among the team's tight ends in snaps (13) behind Trey McBride (54) and ahead of Stephen Anderson (10), catching his only target for seven yards. Williams likely won't take on much more work Sunday, even with Zach Ertz (knee) out for the season.

Williams reverted to Arizona's practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
With Zach Ertz (knee) out for the season, Williams was elevated from the practice squad prior to the Cardinals' Week 11 loss to San Francisco and logged 13 snaps -- well behind Trey McBride's 54 but ahead of Stephen Anderson's 10. Williams caught his only target for seven yards in the loss and also played nine special-teams snaps. He's a candidate to be elevated again for Week 12 if Arizona opts to carry three tight ends into Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Arizona elevated Williams from its practice squad to the 53-man roster Monday ahead of its game versus San Francisco, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be Williams' first game back on the active roster after being sent down to the practice squad ahead of Week 5. He figures to fill a rotational role behind rookie second-rounder Trey McBride on Monday night.

The Cardinals re-signed Williams (knee) to the practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will stay in Arizona after being released by the team last Friday, recording zero targets over 53 offensive while playing 53 offensive snaps through the first four weeks of the season. The 28-year-old caught all but one of his 17 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown before suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 5 last year. Williams will now be available for three game-day activations while on the Cardinals' practice squad.

The Cardinals released Williams (knee) on Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Cardinals contain a deep tight end room consisting of Zach Ertz, rookie Trey McBride and Stephen Anderson, the team ultimately decided to part ways with Williams on Friday. The 252-pounder appeared in each of Arizona's first four games, but he failed to record a reception in that stretch. Williams was held out of practice earlier this week due to a knee injury, and he'll look to join another team once he's able to move past the issue.

Williams (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing no more than 15 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps in each of the first three games of the campaign, Williams jumped all the way up to 30 percent this past Sunday at Carolina. Still, he's in search of his first target since tearing his ACL in Week 5 of last season. Williams' absence Wednesday may be maintenance-related due to the aforementioned injury, but he also seemingly is behind Zach Ertz and 2022 second-round pick Trey McBride after the rookie caught all three targets for 24 yards while playing 42 percent of the snaps on offense Week 4.
