Williams ended with 20 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes in Sunday's 116-102 preseason loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Williams started all 82 regular-season appearances for the Bulls last season and is expected to open the upcoming season as the starting power forward once again, though he's likely to have a secondary role on offense while sharing the court with Nikola Vucevic, DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. Either way, performances like this one should boost his fantasy upside, as he can do a good job filling out the stat sheet while not having to deal with the pressure of being the primary option on offense.

Williams finished with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes in Sunday's 105-102 preseason loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Williams led the team in shots made from three while finishing second on the team in scoring and as one of two Bulls players with a double-digit point total in Sunday's loss to the Bucks. Williams is coming off a career year in Chicago last season, a year he averaged a career-high 10.2 points to go along with 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists while starting in 65 of his 82 regular-season appearances.

Williams supplied 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 115-112 victory over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Williams struggled to find his stroke early, recording eight points on just 3-of-9 shooting from the field in the first half, though two of those makes came from beyond the arc. The power forward got in a good rhythm in the second half, however, knocking down six of nine field-goal attempts for another 15 points to go along with six boards. He finished with a season-high 23 points on the night, while his eight rebounds were the most he's recorded in a game since Jan. 23 against the Hawks. Williams figures to log another heavy workload Sunday, assuming a number of the Bulls' regulars sit out again with the team's playoff positioning locked up.

Williams is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will replace Alex Caruso (foot) in the starting five Wednesday. Williams is averaging 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.2 minutes across his previous 63 starts this season.

Williams contributed 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was impactful on both ends for Chicago, and probably should have been more involved given that the Bulls shot 7-of-31 from three. Despite his underwhelming ceiling, he's providing reliable value down the stretch with the Bulls still competing daily.

Williams will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Alex Caruso (foot) is back and starting, so Williams will return to a reserve role in which he's averaging 9.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 triples per game on 52.9 percent shooting.

Williams finished with 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Monday's 124-112 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Starting for the fourth time in five games, Williams came through with his best all-around stat line during that stretch. Even if he ends up receiving close to 30 minutes on a more consistent basis, Williams hasn't shown he can be a reliable producer from game to game this season, so managers may not benefit from chasing Monday's performance. Williams is still likely to lose out on minutes to some degree anyway, as Alex Caruso (foot) was sitting out Monday and should eat into the roles of Williams and Coby White once he's healthy again.

Williams is starting Monday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will step in for Alex Caruso, who was ruled out prior to tipoff due to a foot injury. The Florida State product has started three of his team's last four contests and is averaging 7.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over this brief stretch.

Williams contributed 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 124-96 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Williams racked up four combined steals and blocks in the win, salvaging an otherwise empty performance. Despite being afforded a huge opportunity this season, Williams has been unable to make any progress in terms of lifting his fantasy game. In almost 29 minutes per game, he is barely inside the top 150, making him a far better target in deeper formats.

Williams is starting Monday's contest against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

With Alex Caruso (foot) sidelined, Williams finds himself back in Chicago's starting lineup Monday. The third-year pro began the season as a regular starter for the Bulls but had his role shifted to the bench post-All-Star break. The UNC product has started 59 contests this season, averaging 10.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 29.3 minutes per game.
