Finds end zone as receiver Williams carried the ball five times for 12 yards in Week 11 against the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for four yards and a touchdown.

Impact Williams was out-touched by Aaron Jones 14-6, but he managed to tally his second touchdown of the season. He found the end zone on a four-yard reception just before halftime, beating defenders to the corner of the end zone on a dumpoff pass. Williams has seen his role in the passing game diminish as Davante Adams has dominated targets throughout the season, making him a more traditional backup to Aaron Jones in the backfield.

Returns to backup role Williams ran the ball eight times for 30 yards and caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.

Impact After sitting out Week 9, Williams returned to action and saw only half the touches he averaged while serving as the lead back in Weeks 7 and 8 with Aaron Jones sidelined, but he still managed to record double-digit touches for the fifth time in eight games. There will be a cap on Williams' upside whenever he and Jones are both healthy, but with 532 yards from scrimmage and 26 receptions on the season, Williams has proven worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy leagues, particularly those that utilize PPR scoring.

Comes off COVID-19 list The Packers activated Williams from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Williams managed to participate in Monday's practice session, a hint that his activation from the COVID-19 list was imminent. Top running back Aaron Jones returned to action during last Thursday's win over the 49ers, so Green Bay is now set to enter Sunday's game against the Jaguars with its usual backfield tandem at full health. AJ Dillon (illness) has yet to gain clearance, however, and Dexter Williams (knee) is nursing a potentially serious injury, so Tyler Ervin may end up the only reserve option behind Williams and Jones in Week 10.

Resumes practicing Monday Williams is participating in Monday's practice, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Williams' status for Week 10 still remains unclear, as reports about his presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list have been conflicting. Spofford notes that Williams has been activated off the COVID-19 list, while Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that he remains on the list as a "high-risk exposure." In any case, Williams' presence Monday represents a step in the right direction.
