Jazz's Cody Williams: Drops career-high 19 in loss
Rotowire
Williams logged 19 points (7-17 FG, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 124-114 loss to Portland.
The 19 points were a career high for the second-year wing. Williams has scored in double digits in five straight games as he handles a bigger workload for the shorthanded Jazz, averaging 13.4 points, 5.2 boards, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals in a massive 38.0 minutes over that span. With Lauri Markkanen (hip) still sidelined and Ace Bailey exiting Friday's game early due to concussion symptoms, Williams should continue to get leaned on heavily in the short term.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Records first career double-double
Rotowire
Williams closed with 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bucks.
The shooting and scoring woes have plagued Williams throughout his two-year career in the NBA -- even if his percentages have been better in his sophomore year -- and this loss Saturday was just another example of that. Williams did score in double digits for a second straight game, something he hadn't done since early February, and also posted the first double-double of his career, so there's a silver lining for the forward out of Colorado.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Joining starting five
Rotowire

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.

Rotowire
Williams provided five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.
Williams has been playing a sizable role with the Jazz, and that's expected to continue going forward. His fantasy appeal leaves a lot to be desired, however. Over his last six games, Williams is averaging 30.3 minutes per contest with 8.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks on 52.5 percent shooting from the field.

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.

Rotowire
Williams supplied eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.
Williams made his first start of the season with Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkic sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance. It's no secret that Williams has struggled in Utah, though Thursday's outing was a positive step in the right direction. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can monitor him from the waiver wire for now.

Rotowire
Williams had four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 140-126 loss to the Lakers.
While Williams has been more involved as of late, playing in at least 19 minutes in three of his last four games, he has not done much with the time he has on the court. 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.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to illness.
The Jazz are already very shorthanded for Monday, so this isn't ideal for the team. In terms of fantasy, Williams hasn't been very effective despite starting nine straight games, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 25 percent shooting during that stretch.
