Williams notched two points (1-3 FG) across 14 minutes during Monday's 125-105 loss to the Rockets.
Brice Sensabaugh and John Konchar both played more minutes, suggesting Williams has a tenuous grip on the starting role. Williams hasn't scored in double figures since the Feb. 3 victory against the Pacers, so fantasy managers can almost certainly find more appealing streaming options.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Stable source of steals
Rotowire
Williams amassed nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-93 victory over Sacramento.
Williams is carving out a steady role for himself, but his style of play isn't translating into much fantasy relevance on the whole. The forward has averaged 7.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, so his appeal is very limited outside of swipes.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Williams (illness) is questionable to face the Nets on Friday.
Williams missed Wednesday's loss to the Warriors with an illness, and now he's in danger of sitting out his second straight game. We'll have a better idea of Williams' status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is forced to spend another game on the sidelines, his minutes would be split up between Brice Sensabaugh and Walter Clayton.

All three of those games were blowout situations. Williams is buried in the depth chart and will not see more playing time unless injuries or more blowouts occur.
