Williams faces elite Seattle defense despite strong season; still must-start in most leagues.

Williams is QB6 in fantasy points per game and ranks fifth in yards per attempt, fifth in passing success rate, second in highly accurate throw rate, and first in catchable target rate among 34 qualifying passers. Since returning from his hamstring injury, he has averaged only 10.5 rushing yards, so rushing upside appears limited this week. However, he faces Seattle's elite pass defense, which has allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt, sixth-lowest passing success rate, tenth-lowest CPOE, and third-lowest EPA per dropback over their last five games. The source notes this is a huge test for his growth but acknowledges that in most leagues, despite the horrible matchup, Williams is still a must-start.
