  • Williams signed with the Lions on Monday.

    The running back was waived by the Colts on Aug. 19 to make room for Keenan Allen. Williams initially landed with Indy in July after going undrafted. The Florida State product carried the ball 15 times for 46 yards across five games as a senior in 2025.

  • Indianapolis waived Williams on Wednesday, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    In a corresponding transaction, Indianapolis signed six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen. Presuming Williams is not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, he's on track to become a free agent once again.

  • Indianapolis signed Williams on Friday.

    The Colts are relatively thin in their backfield behind three-time Pro Bowler Jonathan Taylor, so it's not shocking that they're adding some competition during training camp. Williams went undrafted after taking 15 carries for 46 yards over five games during his senior season at Florida State in 2025.

“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.

Trade value: what to ask for Roydell

Our board has Roydell Williams at RB182, #691 overall in PPR, and the market leaves him undrafted. The market prices him about 115 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #691, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #691. He projects to 42.4 points (floor -51.0, ceiling 99.6).

RBs in that range on our board right now: EJ Smith (#688, KC), Tre Stewart (#689, ARI), Elijah Tau-Tolliver (#690, BAL), Adam Randall (#692, BAL), Demond Claiborne (#693, MIN), Max Bredeson (#694, MIN).
