2026 Fantasy Outlook
Williams will stick with the Buccaneers for 2026 after having logged a curveball rookie year with the team in 2025. After going undrafted out of LSU, Williams put together a solid training camp but then missed time, first due to a concussion and then a six-game suspension, leading Tampa Bay to waive and re-sign him to the practice squad. Now, Williams will get a chance to compete for the No. 4 backfield gig behind Bucky Irving, Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker. Read Past Outlooks

The Buccaneers signed Williams to a reserve/future contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted free agent out of LSU earned a spot on the Buccaneers' 53-man roster after a strong training camp. His rookie season was a bit tumultuous, as he missed time while in the league's concussion protocol before being served a six-game suspension by the NFL in mid-November for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy. He was waived by the Bucs on Dec. 29 before being signed to the practice squad one day later, and he'll stick around with Tampa Bay during offseason activities with the aim of cracking the team's active roster for a second straight year.
