Josh Williams Rest-of-Season Outlook

Williams remains a fringe piece in the Buccaneers backfield, and the 2025 ledger says as much: just two games, a 4.3% snap share, four carries for 11 yards at 2.75 per attempt, and a single route run. That production amounted to 1.1 fantasy points and an RB rank of 130, with an EPA per play of -0.464 that underscores how little impact he had on the field when he did touch it.

There's nothing here that points to a standalone fantasy role. No red-zone or goal-line work, zero targets, and no broken tackles or explosive runs to suggest untapped upside. At 25, Williams profiles as emergency depth rather than a draftable asset, and he'd need a string of injuries ahead of him to matter. Leave him on waivers until usage actually changes.
