Moderately productive in start Williams amassed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 110-101 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Williams moved back into the starting lineup Sunday, delivering yet another ho-hum fantasy line. Despite a consistent role this season, he has been unable to establish himself as a must-roster 12-team player. He can have limited value at the backend of a roster but honestly, if you are looking for upside, it may be wise to search elsewhere.

Struggles mightily in loss Williams ended Wednesday's 132-113 loss to the Suns with two points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes.

Impact Williams was a disaster in the loss, delivering arguably his worst game of the season. After a period of relevance, it's been a rough few games for Williams, who is sitting outside the top 200 over the past week. His role remains secure enough, so if you are rostering him, a little patience may be required. With that said, his upside is limited.

Pops for 17 points Monday Williams racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 121-107 victory over Boston.

Impact Williams scored a season-high 17 points in the win, the third time in his last four games in which he has ended with double-digits. After a slow start to the season, he is beginning to creep into the standard league discussion. He has put up top 110 value over the past week thanks to increased production on the offensive end of the floor. While he is not a must-add player, managers looking for a player with a secure role could certainly do worse.

Says he'll play Friday Williams (ankle) told reporters that he will play in Friday's game against the Magic, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Williams has yet to miss a game this season, and it doesn't appear that will change Friday despite the forward rolling his ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans. Through 15 games, Williams is averaging 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 25.1 minutes per contest.

Questionable vs. Magic Williams is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to a sprained right ankle.

Impact Williams remains in a low-usage role for Chicago, so even if he sits out, there won't be too many extra shots available. An absence could mean more minutes for Derrick Jones and Javonte Green.

Efficient despite loss Williams registered 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Williams reached the 15-point mark for the second time this season, and while he's been struggling from the field at times, this was one of his most efficient performances of the season. It'd be a stretch to think he's going to score at this rate -- and with these levels of efficiency -- on a regular basis going forward, so fantasy managers must understand this outing is likely an outlier rather than the norm going forward. He's averaging 11.4 points but shooting 48.5 percent from the field in seven games during the current month.

Poor shooting in loss Williams chipped in 13 points (5-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's 113-104 loss to Toronto.

Impact Williams missed seven of his eight first-quarter shot attempts, including five misses from within three feet of the basket. His seven rebounds matched his most in any game this season, and five of those boards came off the offensive glass. The 21-year-old has made 44.2 percent of his shots and 36.4 percent of his three-point tries and is averaging 8.9 points per game through the season's first 11 contests.
