D.J. Williams
Player Profiles: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | D/ST | DL | LB | DB
D.J. Williams | Denver Broncos | Linebacker
Team Defensive Style: 4-3 (Switching From 3-4)
2011 Experience: 8th Season
IDP Fantasy Football Outlook: Even though D.J. Williams is expected to move out of the middle (weak-side) as the Broncos switch into a 4-3 defense again, I believe he will rack up over 100 tackles again. The Broncos won’t support a known stud tackler in the middle and which sets a skilled weak-side backer like Williams up to sniff out more tackles in a season.
Some will shy away from Williams as the Broncos are making a change, but they’re defense will still spend a lot of time on the field. Because they aren’t a strong team against the run, their linebackers should hold value for IDP leagues, and Williams is clearly the top option, with strong-side rookie Von Miller and the winner at middle linebacker holding interesting sleeper value.

2010 IDP Fantasy Football Outlook
D.J. Williams thrived in the three – four defense the Broncos ran last year as he led the team in tackles. Look for the talented inside linebacker to be a solid option for your IDP squad as he can not only rack up tackles but make plays as well.
