Continues to rack up sacks Williams totaled six tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks during the Giants' Week 7 win over the Panthers.

Impact After recording just one sack through the first four games of the season, Williams has 3.5 sacks over his last three contests. The 27-year-old defensive end finished last season with a career-high 11.5 sacks, and if he continues on this trajectory, he may be able to top that number during the 2021 campaign. Williams has another advantageous matchup in Week 8, as the Giants' take on the Chiefs, who gave up four sacks to the Titans in their last matchup.
