GAME LOG
Nursing leg injury Williams is nursing a leg injury through spring ball, per Buffaloes Wire.
Impact Williams missed Colorado's final game of the season, and the wideout is still nursing a leg ailment as Colorado goes through its spring practice period. He posted 37 catches for 489 yards and four touchdowns last season, and should remain a big factor in this offense once he manages to get back on the field.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Out for Week 14 Williams (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Kansas State, Adam Munsterteiger of 247Sports reports.
Impact Even though the Big 12 availability report does not include Williams, he is not suited up for Saturday's game, suggesting his injury status will be out at Kansas State. Colorado's team is not eligible for a bowl game, so his sophomore season comes to an end. Williams logged 37 receptions (on 58 targets) for 489 yards and four touchdowns.
NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Upgraded to probable Williams (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against Kansas State.
Impact Williams has been bumped up from questionable to probable, which bodes well for his availability Saturday. The sophomore has caught 37 of 58 targets for 489 yards and four touchdowns this season.
NOVEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable against K-State Williams (undisclosed) has been listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Kansas State.
Impact Williams has popped up on the Buffaloes' injury report due to undisclosed reasons as Colorado faces off against K-State to close out the 2025 regular season. The 6-foot-2 sophomore transfer from Tulsa has logged 37 receptions for 489 yards and four touchdowns across 10 games this season.
NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in Saturday's win Williams reeled in 3 of 6 targets for 64 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 29-22 loss versus West Virginia.
Impact Williams caught his fourth touchdown of the season Saturday, a nine-yard touchdown late in the first half. He also gained over 60 yards for just the second time this season. Williams showed a promising connection with new quarterback Julian Lewis and he will look to continue that over the remaining two games.
NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Officially cleared Williams (undisclosed) is off the report for Saturday's game against West Virginia.
Impact Williams is ready to roll after a brief appearance on Wednesday's injury report. He was limited to just three catches for 16 yards last week and will look to get more involved following his 128 yards performance in Week 7.
NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to play in Week 11 Williams (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against West Virginia.
Impact Williams was limited to just three catches in the Week 10 matchup against Arizona after not playing in the loss to Utah in Week 9. He's being listed as probable due to unknown reasons, but the tag suggests the wideout should be available against WVU this weekend. Williams has 27 catches for 386 yards and three scores in 2025.
NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Held out for tardiness Williams (not injury related) did not play during Colorado's 53-7 loss to Utah on Saturday due to tardiness, per Brian Howell of The Daily Camera.
Impact Williams was among those disciplined for tardiness while returning to team events following Colorado's bye last week as the 6-foot-2 receiver was held out against the Utes. Williams was coming off his best performance of the season against Iowa State prior to the team's bye, catching eight passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. Assuming his punishment has been fulfilled, he will hope to return to that form when the Buffs host Arizona on Saturday.

After a bye he will look to keep the momentum goin at Utah on Oct. 25.

Scores in Saturday's win Williams reeled in their only target for 47 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-20 win against Wyoming.
Impact Williams caught a 47-yard touchdown in the third quarter of Saturday's game, his second straight game with a touchdown. However, that was his only target in the entire game which is somewhat concerning. If he can't get a higher target share with quarterback Kaidon Salter, then he can't be relied on in fantasy.

Reels in touchdown Friday Williams reeled in 3 of 4 targets for 52 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 36-20 defeat to Houston.
Impact Williams caught a 37-yard touchdown from Ryan Staub in the fourth quarter Friday, his first touchdown of the season. He now has seven catches (on 12 targets) for 107 yards and a touchdown over the last two games, a promising little stretch despite the shaky quarterback play. It's too early to tell if he can be fully relied on, but he has a good chance to put together another solid performance Saturday versus Wyoming.

Not listed as starter Williams is not listed as a starter for Saturday's game against Delaware, Scott Procter of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Instead of Williams, it is Sincere Brown part of Colorado's listed starters at wide receiver. The former did not impress all that much in Week 1, having logged only one reception (on two targets) for 10 yards. At the very least, there is still much time for Williams' 2025 season to turn itself around.

Who's Colorado's Starting QB? Deion Sanders Says 'Cream of the Crop' Will Rise
Stood out in spring game Williams stood out in Colorado's spring game, Harrison Simeon of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Williams is making some noise before the 2025 season as the Buffs just kicked off their spring game. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver played with Tulsa in the 2024 season where he recorded 30 passes for 588 yards and five touchdowns. He's primed to possibly be one of Colorado's top pass catchers this campaign.

Will have entered portal Williams will have entered the transfer portal, according to his announcement Tuesday.

Continues hot streak Saturday Williams tallied six receptions (on nine targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-30 defeat against South Florida.
Impact Williams had another excellent performance Saturday, highlighted by his third straight 100 yard performance and his 11-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. The true freshman now has 17 catches (on 28 targets) for 396 yards and five touchdowns across his last three games, showing late in the season that he may be a budding star. His outing was not without a major mistake though. He was about to score a 73-yard touchdown in the third quarter but a South Florida defender punched the ball out inside the five-yard line, turning a Tulsa touchdown into a touchback. Williams will look to keep his hot streak going Saturday versus Florida Atlantic in the season finale.
