Trayveon Williams - Suffers injury Saturday
sleeper-rotowire+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Williams suffered a concussion during Detroit's preseason loss to the Commanders on Saturday, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports. Williams signed with the team just last week but has already picked up an injury. The 28-year-old will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before he's eligible to return and will likely face an uphill battle to earn a roster spot once healthy

Lions sign RB Trayveon Williams, CB Ekow Boye-Doe
The Lions announced a handful of roster moves on Sunday morning. They have signed running back Trayveon Williams and cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe.

Williams entered the league as a 2019 sixth-round pick of the Bengals and he spent six seasons in Cincinnati. He played three games for the Chargers and four games for the Browns last season. He has 72 carries for 343 yards in 75 career games. Boye-Dow signed with the Chiefs after going undrafted in 2023 and played six games during his rookie season

Trayveon Williams - Signs with Detroit
sleeper-rotowire+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable
The Lions signed Williams to a contract Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. With Jacob Saylors (ankle) and Kye Robichaux (foot) both suffering lower leg injuries, the running back depth for the Lions has taken a significant hit since Thursday. Williams was likely signed to bolster the preseason corps as they look towards next Saturday's game against the Commanders. The 28-year-old played in three regular-season games for the Chargers last year, playing 56 total snaps and rushing three times for a loss of one yard

Trayveon Williams - Minor role in season finale
sleeper-rotowire+9 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Williams had one carry for seven yards and caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over Cincinnati in Week 18. He also returned three kickoffs for 73 yards. Williams finished out the regular season as the third back and primary kickoff returner. He spent time with the Browns during the preseason and was cut from the team's practice squad before eventually returning in December. In four games on Cleveland's active roster, Williams had seven carries for 37 yards, caught seven of eight targets for 55 yards and averaged 23.2 yards over six kickoff returns. Williams enters the offseason as a free agent and could be brought back to compete for a depth role

Raheim Sanders Limited By Backfield Committee in Cleveland
Cleveland Browns running back Raheim Sanders has seen an increased role in recent weeks after Browns RB1 Quinshon Judkins (leg, ankle) suffered season-ending lower leg injuries in Week 16. After Judkins went down, Sanders recorded 11 carries for 42 yards and looked like the team's lead back for the remainder of Week 16. However, Browns running back Dylan Sampson returned from calf and hand injuries in Week 17, cutting Sanders' usage. In Week 17, Sanders racked up just 21 yards rushing on eight carries. With Sampson functioning as Cleveland's primary receiving back and Trayveon Williams soaking up backfield work as well, the Browns appear to be operating with a full-on backfield committee. Even in a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cleveland's regular-season finale on Sunday, Sanders carries limited upside. Fantasy managers are safe to avoid Sanders in Week 18

Trayveon Williams - Two offensive touches in win
sleeper-rotowire+9 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Williams had two carries for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17. He also returned one kickoff for 25 yards. Dylan Sampson's return from an ankle injury left Williams has the third back behind Sampson and Raheim Sanders. Williams was added to Cleveland's 53-man roster a few weeks ago, while the Browns coped with injuries, and he has carved out a minor role in the backfield. The most significant of those injuries was to Quinshon Judkins (ankle/leg) last week, but with everyone else healthy, Williams isn't likely to see a much bigger workload in Week 18 against the Bengals

Trayveon Williams catches four passes in loss
Trayveon Williams ran three times for 17 yards and caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills. Williams filled in for Quinshon Judkins in the passing game after Judkins exited with what was later ruled a broken leg. He and Raheim Sanders are interesting flex options if Dylan Sampson is not back next week

Trayveon Williams - Expanded role due to Judkins injury
sleeper-rotowire+9 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Williams rushed three times for 17 yards and brought in all four targets for 38 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday. After Quinshon Judkins exited the game in the second quarter with what was eventually diagnosed as a broken fibula and dislocated ankle, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Williams and Raheim Sanders both saw expanded roles. Williams operated in a change-of-pace and pass-catching role, actually pacing the Browns in receiving yards on the afternoon. Williams projects for additional opportunity over the final two games of the season due to Judkins' absence, but Dylan Sampson (calf/hand) could potentially join the backfield mix in a Week 17 home matchup against the Steelers after missing the last two games

Trayveon Williams Active in Browns Passing Game during Week 16 Loss
Cleveland Browns running back Trayveon Williams came in after rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) exited early with a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula during Sunday's Week 16 loss against the Buffalo Bills. The veteran back caught all four of his targets for 38 yards and ran the ball three times for 17 yards, but saw fewer rush attempts than rookie running back Raheim Sanders. The Cleveland Browns will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17, who are a tough matchup for opposing running backs. With rookie running back Dylan Sampson (hand) still managing an injury and Judkins almost certainly missing the rest of the season, Williams should profile as the primary passing-down back in the upcoming gritty AFC North matchup
