The Baltimore Ravens designated safety Marcus Williams (wrist) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, and he returned to practice. The Ravens opened their 21-day window to officially activate Williams from Injured Reserve, and that could come in time for him to play in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old has been on the shelf since he dislocated his wrist in Week 5, so whenever Williams does return to game action, he could have his playing time limited due to the long...

Before we get to our rankings, let's consider several major occurrences in the IDP world this week. Chief amongst those occurrences is the continued wave of new/persistent injuries impacting major fantasy defenders like Nick Bosa, Marcus Williams, Shaquille Leonard, Mykal Walker, Jordan Poyer, Kwity Paye, and Emmanuel Moseley. Currently, Moseley and Williams are out, while we project Leonard and Paye to miss time too. We will do the opposite with Bosa and Poyer, projecting them as starters until...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) will be placed on Injured Reserve after dislocating his wrist in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals. His injury won't be season-ending, but it could be significant for fantasy football. The Ravens' secondary has already been among the worst in the NFL, so it could be getting even worse. The Ravens should remain a passing defense to target in fantasy and DFS. On the flipside, Lamar Jackson passing attempts could spike if the Ravens' defense ...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) is expected to miss a significant amount of time, according to head coach John Harbaugh. He injured his wrist during Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The organization believes that Williams has suffered a dislocated wrist, which is not good news for them. The expectation is that Williams is going to need a long time to recover from this. First-round pick Kyle Hamilton is likely going to be forced to jump into the starting lineup ...

Baltimore Ravens safety Marcus Williams (wrist) suffered a wrist injury in the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals and is doubtful to return in the second half. Before leaving, Williams recorded two solo tackles for his fantasy managers. With the 26-year-old unlikely to return to this contest, Kyle Hamilton will be asked to step up in Baltimore's secondary. Coming into the Week 5 game, Williams had racked up 31 tackles (24 solo), three interceptions, five passes ...

The Baltimore Ravens defense ranked 19th in overall defense last year and allowed a league-worst 4,742 passing yards after a series of injuries left their secondary extremely thin. But the Ravens addressed their defense in the offseason by drafting safety Kyle Hamilton, signing safety Marcus Williams and cornerback Kyle Fuller and re-signing safety Tony Jefferson. Injured cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters are also set to return. "I feel really good about that group back there, I mean...

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's contract situation could drag out. "If I were to put money on it, I'd say this is the ideal situation that ends up in multiple franchise tags before a deal gets done," OverTheCap.com's Jason Fitzgerald said. It would allow Jackson to get paid on a pair of one-year deals and then be eligible for free agency at the age of 28, similar to what Kirk Cousins did in Washington. The Ravens already signed safety Marcus Williams, right tackle Morgan Moses and...

The Baltimore Ravens agreed on a five-year, $70 million deal with free-agent safety Marcus Williams on Tuesday, according to a source. Williams had a career-high 74 tackles (52 solo), two interceptions, eight passes defensed and a forced fumble in 16 regular season games for the New Orleans Saints in 2021 while playing on the franchise tag. He'll be replacing DeShon Elliott as Baltimore's starting free safety in 2022 and beyond. The 25-year-old was a second-round pick of the Saints back in 2017 ...

New Orleans Saints impending free-agent safety Marcus Williams doesn't expect the team to use the franchise tag on him, according to a source. The Saints would prefer to get a long-term deal done with Williams after he played on the franchise tag last year. The 25-year-old played very well on the franchise tag in 2021, recording a career-high 74 tackles (52 solo), two interceptions, eight passes defensed and a forced fumble in 16 games. Williams wasn't much to look at in IDP leagues, but he was ...

New Orleans Saints free safety Marcus Williams is a candidate to receive the franchise tag for the second straight season with the Saints in rough salary cap shape in 2022. Williams played well on the tag in 2021 and is an important part of the team's secondary. Left tackle Terron Armstead is not a candidate for the tag because his contract makes him ineligible for it since he doesn't become a free agent until after the end of the 2021 league year on March 16. The 25-year-old Williams registered...
