Jamaal Williams racks up 136 yards, touchdown for Packers in return
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams rushed 14 times for 104 yards and caught 4 passes (5 targets) for 32 yards and 1 touchdown in a 23-22, Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night.
What It Means:
Williams set season-highs in both rushing and receiving yards after sitting out last game for a concussion he suffered early in Week 4. Aaron Jones fumbled and dropped a would-be touchdown on consecutive possessions in the first half, leading to more run for Williams. He out-touched Jones 18-15 and out-produced him 136-60. The Packers will likely continue to go with the hot hand in Week 7 against the Oakland Raiders.
Williams scored a season-high 21.6 FanDuel points in the win. He has 191 rush yards (4.8 per carry), 87 receiving yards, 12 catches, and 2 touchdowns this season. Williams is the RB27 in numberFire's Week 7 fantasy rankings and projected for 9.8 FP. The Raiders are top-10 in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per attempt (3.7).
