  Packers | Dexter Williams signs in Green Bay    Wed Aug 10, 12:28 PM

Free-agent RB Dexter Williams (USFL) signed an undisclosed contract with the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Williams was a sixth-round pick out of Notre Dame for the Packers back in 2019. He's bounced around the league since originally being released by the Packers in 2020, and Williams signed with the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL earlier this year. He knows the system, and Williams is going to be hard-pressed to make the final roster.

Footballguys view: Weber and Williams are players to watch in super deep dynasty formats. Partly because of their skill but partly because the Packers running back room is going to look different in 2021. Both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason.

  Packers | Dexter Williams tallies 64 yards    Thu Aug 29, 11:46 PM

Green Bay Packers RB Dexter Williams rushed nine times for 34 yards and a touchdown and caught both of his targets for 30 yards in a 27-20 preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday, Aug. 29.

Footballguys view: Williams probably outplayed Tra Carson last night, but we'll see if it was enough to make the roster as the #3 back. Williams hasn't had a great summer and the team could look to waivers for a #3 back and try to slip Williams to the practice squad before Week 1.

Green Bay Packers RB Dexter Williams rushed 14 times for 62 yards (4.4 yard per carry) and caught one ball for 18 yards in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 8.

Footballguys view: Jamaal Williams has had a hamstring issue for most of camp, and Dexter might be a better fit in the outside zone running game. If Aaron Jones goes down, it's possible Dexter will be the Williams to pick up.

Green Bay Packers sixth-round draft choice CB Ka'dar Hollman, sixth-round draft choice RB Dexter Williams and seventh-round draft choice LB Ty Summers signed four-year contracts with the Packers Friday, May 3. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Williams is the player to watch from this group. Measuring in at 5'11" 212 pounds, Williams has the natural skill set to be a starter in the league. He'll take some developing, but we like the way he can create his own space with moves, acceleration and a bit of power. We'll monitor Williams in deep dynasty leagues for sure.
