Impending free-agent RB Jamaal Williams (Packers) reportedly agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth up to $7.5 million with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, March 16.
Huddle Up: This likely closes the door on Adrian Peterson's return and figures to have a slightly negative impact on the fantasy value of D'Andre Swift. Williams isn't nearly as talented or explosive as Swift, but he does enough well that he should be expected to steal more touches from Swift than fantasy owners would like - as was sometimes the case in Green Bay with Aaron Jones. Swift should be considered a low-end RB1 now, while Williams should be viewed as his clear handcuff.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent RB Jamaal Williams said he hopes to re-sign with the Packers this offseason but is ready to test the free-agent market if he does not return.
Huddle Up: Williams posted 741 total yards and three touchdown this season but may need to find a new team this offseason. He probably will not be able to find a starting job but should be part of a committee with a team. He has the chance to be a No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy back for players.
