Dorian Williams is a 2023 pick adding linebacking depth; his role matters for Buffalo’s run defense and IDP upside.

Linebacker flagged for holding in Weeks 1–5.

Williams is day-to-day but trending toward a Week 6 return; his presence would bolster Buffalo’s depth behind Milano and could shift Bernard into a more limited role if Williams returns.

Williams could return to LB2 duties if Milano remains out; his usage will dictate fantasy upside, with Shaq Thompson ready to fill in if Williams misses time.

<p>Dorian Williams is ruled out, further thinning Buffalo's linebacker depth. Milano's return helps, but Williams' absence leaves more opportunity for backups and invites heavier reliance on the defensive front to control the middle of the field.</p>
