Bulls' Patrick Williams: Continues string production
Rotowire
Williams closed with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-118 victory over New Orleans.
Williams cobbled together another strong performance Saturday, scoring double-digits for the sixth straight game. Although his production has come at a time when others have missed time due to injury, this is what managers had hoped to see from him coming into the season. Despite the small sample size, Williams is worth grabbing in standard leagues, just in case he can turn this into sustainable production.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Another strong performance
Rotowire
Williams ended with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-97 loss to the Celtics.
Williams continues to round into form after a terrible start to the season. He has scored in double figures in four straight games, playing at least 28 minutes in three of the four. The Bulls are spiraling downward, so fantasy value is hard to project. DeMar DeRozan (ankle) and Zach LaVine (foot) left Tuesday's contest early, so if they miss additional time, Williams could be worth a flier just to see if the upward trend continues.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Scores 20 in starting lineup
Rotowire
Williams supplied 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 35 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 loss to the Nets.
Williams was moved back into the starting lineup with Alex Caruso (foot) unavailable. The former really struggled in this role prior to Sunday, as he averaged 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in seven previous starts. Williams looked much more comfortable Sunday, and he seems to be trending in the right direction. Over his last three games, Williams has averaged 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.7 three-pointers.

Williams amassed 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Thunder.
Williams took on a starting role Wednesday with Zach LaVine (foot) unavailable. While Williams wasn't particularly efficient from the floor, he came within three rebounds of a double-double. He'll likely revert to a reserve role once LaVine is cleared to return, and Williams has averaged 6.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game over nine appearances off the bench this year.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Modest role continues
Rotowire
Williams logged two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 victory over the Heat.
Over the first 12 games of the season, Williams made six starts and averaged 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 23.7 minutes per game. However, over the last two games, Williams has managed just two points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 28 total minutes. As long as DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Torrey Craig are healthy, Williams' path to consistent playing time is blocked.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
Williams finished with nine points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 96-94 loss to Orlando.
Williams moved back into the starting lineup Wednesday, replacing DeMar DeRozan, who was out due to personal issues. Although his numbers were far from spectacular, Williams did manage to chip in across the board for anyone who streamed him in. Given what we have seen thus far this season, there is no reason to consider him a standard league asset. Feel free to hold him to see if he can string together a few nice performances, but don't be surprised if things go in the opposite direction.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Season-best performance Monday
Rotowire
Williams logged 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 118-109 loss to the Bucks.
Williams came off the bench again Monday, and he is playing through a recent finger injury. Despite the shift to the second unit, Williams produced his best game of the season. He was seen as a possible breakout candidate coming into the campaign, but his start to the season has been far from convincing. While his production here demonstrates what he is capable of, there is no reason to prioritize him outside of deeper fantasy formats at this stage.
