Fri Dec 31 202119:46Robert Williams III Has A Triple-Double, Five Blocks On Friday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III made a big impact in Friday's win over the Suns, posting his first career triple-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists while swatting away five shots. He also had two steals and finished with a perfect 5-for-5 shooting from the field. This is a very unique line and it will take a major effort to replicate it, but you wouldn't put it past Williams III to achieve at some point. He's been a double-double and blocks machine lately, and he had a seven-assist game just a week ago. The 24-year-old gets a good matchup against Orlando to finish the week on Sunday.

Thu Dec 23 202108:07Robert Williams III Stuffs The Stat Sheet Versus Cleveland
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III rocked the Cavaliers on Wednesday with a career-high 21 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks. He missed only two of his 12 shots from the field in 34 minutes of action. This was a huge comeback game from Williams III after he missed Monday's loss to Philadelphia for personal reasons. The 24-year-old is hitting an amazing 74 percent from the field this season and he continues to contribute in every area. The Texas A&M product finishes this week with a tough matchup against the Bucks, but next week bring meetings with Minnesota and the Clippers, two teams that struggle to control the glass and give up a lot of rebounds to centers.

Tue Dec 21 202121:11Robert Williams III Comes Off Injury Report For Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against Cleveland. Williams was unavailable for Monday's loss due to personal reasons, but he should be a full-go for Wednesday, likely bumping Enes Freedom back to the second unit. Williams has been limited to just 24 minutes per outing across his nine December contests, keeping his DFS ceiling in check. Despite that, he boasts a gaudy 73.4% shooting percentage, to go along with 1.7 blocks per outing, which makes him a valuable categories asset in season-long formats. He'll be tasked with slowing the interior duo of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley in his next outing, which should provide him with ample rebounding chances.

Mon Dec 20 202119:10Robert Williams III Ruled Out Against Sixers
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He wasn't on the injury report, so this came out of nowhere. That being said, the Celtics are going to be extremely shorthanded with a handful of big men already sidelined. Enes Freedom could be looking at heavy minutes since the Celtics don't really have anyone else. He could be worth a look as a streaming option and DFS choice for Monday's slate.

Wed Dec 1 202118:49Robert Williams III Faces Minutes Cap Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) will have an unspecified minutes restriction during Wednesday's contest against the 76ers. While it's a positive for fantasy managers to have Williams back -- particularly to matchup vs. Joel Embiid -- having played a combined 36 minutes since Nov. 15 is sure to keep his workload limited. When healthy, Williams has shown a propensity to be a nightly double-double threat this season, averaging 9.4 points and 9.6 boards per contest. Any minutes reductions could carve out a larger role for Enes Freedom, although his fantasy prospects remain muddled for the time being.

Tue Nov 30 202115:18Robert Williams III, Dennis Schroder To Be Active Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) and guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) should be active for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to head coach Ime Udoka. Williams should slide back into the starting five, while Grant Williams heads to the bench after starting the last three games. Schroder has only missed one game and should resume his role as the sixth man. Fantasy managers should double check on Wednesday, but it sounds like both players should be back in the rotation.

Fri Nov 26 202119:52Robert Williams III Still Sick, Out Again On Friday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) won't play on Friday night versus San Antonio. The 24-year-old has been sick, although fortunately, it isn't COVID-related, and there is a chance he could be back on Sunday in Toronto. In the meantime, Al Horford and Grant Williams should continue to benefit. During the 2021-22 campaign, Williams has been fantastic, averaging 9.6 rebounds, 9.4 points, and nearly two blocks throughout a career-high 30.1 minutes, so fantasy managers are certainly hoping to see him return to the lineup sooner rather than later.

Wed Nov 24 202118:37Robert Williams III, Josh Richardson Out On Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) and shooting guard Josh Richardson (illness) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn due to non-COVID-19 illnesses. The positive for Williams is that his knee is not the root of his absence, an indicator that a return to action likely won't be far off. Williams returned to action Monday and snatched 15 rebounds in 23 minutes. Richardson will now have missed two straight contests with the illness, stunting the progress that he had been making among the team's second unit. Look for Grant Williams to slot into the starting five and become an upside DFS candidate, while Al Horford holds down the center spot.

Mon Nov 22 202118:48Robert Williams III Rejoins Starting Five Monday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been given the green light to both suit up and start Monday's game against the Rockets. Williams had missed the previous three contests due to left knee tendinopathy, with his return bumping Grant Williams from the starting five. Prior to getting banged up, Williams had reeled off three consecutive double-doubles and has shot a whopping 73.4 percent from the field; his 1.8 blocks per game average ties him for the seventh-highest mark in the league. Houston has been dominated by opposing big men this season, immediately vaulting Williams' value even higher in his first game back.

Sat Nov 20 202118:40Robert Williams III Won't Play Against Thunder
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The organization released a statement mentioning that both Williams and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) are not feeling 100 percent healthy, so they will remain sidelined. This shouldn't shock anyone as Williams was listed as doubtful coming into the contest. Grant Williams will be in line to start once again, but hasn't done much with his increased opportunities. That being said, Williams won't be much of a target for Saturday's slate.

Sat Nov 20 202113:45Robert Williams III Doubtful Against Thunder
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a knee issue. It wouldn't be shocking to see Williams sit out again versus the shaky OKC roster. Grant Williams has started at center over the last two games, but has produced below average results. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option on Saturday.

The big man remains out because of a knee issue, an ailment that also held him out for Wednesday's matchup against the Hawks.

Wed Nov 17 202118:16Robert Williams III To Remain Out Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It sounds like Williams isn't ready to play yet, so fantasy managers will have to continue being patient. Grant Williams is expected to join the starting five and has played well over his last two games. The Celtics will likely continue starting him for the time being. Fantasy managers should check back in a few days for another update on the Time Lord.

Mon Nov 15 202120:17Robert Williams III Exits Monday’s Game Early
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Cavaliers due to a sore left knee. Prior to his exit, Williams was able to compile six rebounds across 13 minutes, failing to score with two missed shots to his credit. The 24-year-old has proven integral to the Celtics' frontcourt in the early portion of the season, having entered play Monday with a double-double in three consecutive outings. Boston could opt to utilize Grant Williams as a small ball center or deploy Al Horford with an elevated minutes total should Williams face any type of extended absence. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday vs. Atlanta.

Sat Oct 30 202117:01Robert Williams III Out Against Wizards
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) isn't available for Saturday's matchup in Washington. The 24-year-old is currently dealing with a Non-COVID-19 related sickness, so it will open the door for Al Horford and Grant Williams to benefit with some additional minutes and offensive chances against the Wizards. Montrezl Harrell, who will be starting for Washington in place of the injured Daniel Gafford, will likely have an easier time getting his shots to fall without Williams patrolling underneath the basket.

Sat Oct 30 202115:05Robert Williams III A Game-Time Call For Saturday
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Washington. The big man is dealing with a sickness, although fortunately, it's of the non-COVID variety, which at least gives him a shot to suit up against the Wizards. Williams has played well so far, averaging a career-high 10.4 points, 9.2 boards, and a monstrous 3.2 blocks. Nonetheless, if he sits out, Al Horford and Grant Williams will likely be the primary beneficiaries. However, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown should continue to monopolize things on the offensive end. Montrezl Harrell, who potentially won't have to deal with Williams, could also be in line to benefit, especially if Daniel Gafford (quadriceps), who is doubtful, misses this one.

Thu Oct 28 202108:03Robert Williams III Posts Double-Double With Four Blocks
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III continued his strong start to the year in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He scored 13 points and racked up 11 rebounds to notch his third double-double of the young season. He also added four blocks, one assist and one steal. Williams hasn't been very aggressive offensively, but he's been extremely efficient. He shot 6-for-8 from the field in Wednesday's game and he's now shooting 72.4% from the field on the year. Williams and the Celtics will face the Wizards once again in their next game on Saturday.

Thu Oct 21 202110:44Robert Williams III Posts Double-Double With Five Blocks
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III got off to a strong start to the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday. He logged 45 minutes in the team's double-overtime loss to the New York Knicks and compiled 16 points, 10 boards, five blocks, three steals and three assists without committing a single turnover. He shot 5-for-5 from the field and 6-for-8 from the line in the game. The team was without fellow center Al Horford as he is still sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Horford's return will cause Williams' minutes to drop a good amount, but the fourth-year pro certainly made a strong case for a heavy share of playing time in Wednesday's season opener.

Mon Sep 27 202113:58Robert Williams III Adds Muscle Over The Offseason
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III made it a priority to add muscle over the offseason. He wants to prove that he is worth the four-year $54 million extension he received. It appears his health is in good shape and the added muscle is a positive. The Celtics committed significant money into Williams, so he's going to be involved. It is only up from here for the 'Time Lord' who is a prime breakout candidate heading into the season.

Sat Aug 21 202118:33Robert Williams III Signs Extension With Celtics
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III agreed to a four-year contract extension with the team on Friday. The deal is for $54 million, and it comes after the 23-year-old had a breakout season in 2021, including averaging 9.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks throughout 13 games as a starter. Unfortunately, a toe ailment limited him to some degree. However, it's probable he will see an increase in production this season, primarily on the glass and defensive end. His superb shooting percentage also won't negatively impact category managers either, but he will need to stay healthy, which has been an issue throughout his limited tenure in the league.
