Sun Jun 30 | 10:26 | Patrick Williams Expected To Sign Extension With Bulls |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams reportedly intends to sign a massive extension with the organization. The Bulls extended a qualifying offer to Williams, but it sounds like the two sides have agreed on a new deal. Williams intends to sign a five-year, $90 million contract to remain in Chicago long term. The Bulls have high hopes for Williams despite him only playing 43 games last season due to injury. At the moment, it seems unlikely that the Bulls are going to bring back DeMar DeRozan which should mean an increased role for Williams next season. |

Tue Jun 4 | 21:20 | Patrick Williams On OKC's Radar? |
According to Darnell Mayberry of the New York Times, the Oklahoma City Thunder could be interested in acquiring Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams. The 22-year-old has averaged 9.7 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 41.0% from deep since entering the league in 2020. However, while he's shown flashes of promise, his career in the National Basketball Association hasn't been smooth sailing. Williams could command over $16 million as a restricted free agent this summer, although that number may change, considering he was limited to only 43 games in 2023-24 because of a foot injury. But the Thunder have draft picks, so a sign-and-trade could be on the horizon. Either way, his fantasy desirability will continue to plunge until he proves he can stay healthy and consistent. |

Fri Feb 23 | 20:36 | Patrick Williams To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) will see his 2023-2024 campaign come to an abrupt end. Williams is reportedly expected to undergo season-ending foot surgery. He hasn't played since January 25, and Williams wasn't making strong progress in his recovery process. He played in all 82 games last season but will see his 2023 campaign cut short. He'll finish with averages of 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.7 combined blocks/steals across 27.3 minutes. Ayo Dosunmu remains a must-have player with the Bulls shorthanded right now. |

Wed Feb 21 | 07:02 | Patrick Williams To Remain Out On Thursday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Thursday against the Celtics. Williams is trying to return from a left foot injury, but he is reportedly still experiencing mild discomfort and isn't running yet. According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the team will be "very, very careful" with Williams. With Torrey Craig (knee) also dropping out of the lineup ahead of Thursday's game, Donovan will need to get creative with his rotation. |

Tue Jan 30 | 16:04 | Bulls Will Re-Evaluate Patrick Williams In Two Weeks |
The Chicago Bulls announced on Tuesday that forward Patrick Williams (foot) has been diagnosed with acute bone edema in his left foot and will be reassessed in about two weeks. The three-and-D wing is providing 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, and 1.7 combined steals plus blocks per game this year but doesn't need to be stashed in fantasy while he's on the shelf. With Zach LaVine (ankle) also sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso will continue to handle expanded roles. |

Sun Jan 28 | 18:55 | Patrick Williams Ruled Out On Sunday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) has been ruled out for their Sunday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 22-year-old was able to play in their last four consecutive games and received the start in three of them. This will be only his fourth missed game of the season, but there's a chance that it might not have as big of an impact since the Blazers have eight players listed as out or questionable. While Williams is sidelined in this contest, Jevon Carter and Dalen Terry will likely see some added minutes while Ayo Dosunmu will probably move into the starting lineup to create a smaller starting five. |

Wed Jan 24 | 20:57 | Patrick Williams Tagged As Probable For Thursday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is currently listed as probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It's worth noting that Williams was also listed as probable ahead of their last game. Williams suited up for that game and finished with 13 points and four rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Fantasy managers should expect more of the same with Zach LaVine (ankle) still sidelined. Williams should once again be out there, barring any pregame setback. |

Mon Jan 22 | 20:14 | Patrick Williams Available On Monday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The young forward was listed as probable coming into this game due to a right ankle sprain. As expected, Williams will play and attempt to help fill the void left by Zach LaVine (ankle) during Monday's game. Williams scored 15 points with five rebounds and two steals during his last game. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Bulls shorthanded. |

Sat Jan 20 | 09:41 | Patrick Williams Questionable For Saturday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's home game against Memphis. He returned from a two-game absence against Toronto on Thursday, but it looks like Williams could land back on the shelf for the weekend due to a right ankle sprain. He had a solid 12-point outing in 23 minutes off the bench with 5-for-9 shooting against the Raptors. Dalen Terry should get extra work in Williams' absence on Saturday, but he hasn't done anything to warrant attention from fantasy managers. |

Thu Jan 18 | 09:40 | Patrick Williams Could Miss Third Consecutive Game |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game on Thursday versus the Raptors. He's nursing a right ankle strain and is listed as questionable for the game. Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, which is a bad sign regarding his availability for the Toronto game. With the Bulls healthy again, Williams has dropped to the bench, and there haven't been any standout performers in the second unit during his absence. |

Mon Jan 15 | 19:10 | Patrick Williams Ruled Out Against Cavaliers |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to out on Monday and will not face the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is his second consecutive absence due to the right ankle strain that he suffered against the Golden State Warriors. Williams has started in most of his games this year but it hasn't produced that much better of a fantasy performance to make him a must-roster player in shallower leagues. While he's sidelined, however, Ayo Dosunmu should receive more minutes like he did last game. He could be a solid streaming option after he produced 21 points, four assists, two rebounds, one steal, and two turnovers in the game against the San Antonio Spurs. |

Sat Jan 13 | 20:29 | Patrick Williams Won't Play On Saturday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Williams is dealing with a right ankle sprain, so it wouldn't be shocking if he missed more than just this game. His absence won't have too big of an impact on the rotation. Dalen Terry figures to have a bigger role with Williams unavailable. However, Terry doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats. |

Wed Jan 10 | 15:54 | Alex Caruso, Patrick Williams Available Wednesday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (neck) and forward Patrick Williams (ankle) are both available for Wednesday's game versus the Houston Rockets. The Bulls' role players should both be good for their usual workloads, considering this matchup is neither the first nor second leg of a back-to-back, but they are trending down with Zach LaVine (foot) and Nikola Vucevic back in the fold. This contest also features the lowest implied point total (216.5) on Wednesday's 10-game slate by a wide margin, so this is probably not the right environment to dig into the bargain bin on either side for DFS purposes. Without a true point guard running the show amid Lonzo Ball's (knee) absence in the Windy City, Chicago's slow-paced offense sees them sit last in the Association in possessions per game (98.2). |

Mon Jan 8 | 09:37 | Patrick Williams Iffy For Monday's Action |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) couldn't practice on Sunday and is a question mark for Monday's meeting with the Hornets. Williams missed his first game of the season against Charlotte on Friday due to a right ankle strain. His absence gave a boost to Dalen Terry's fantasy stock as the 21-year-old logged his first career start. The first-round pick from 2022 registered eight points, four rebounds, and two steals in 21 minutes. It's a great matchup fantasy-wise, as Charlotte is ranked 28th in defensive efficiency and also offers a pace-up spot for the Bulls. |

Mon Dec 11 2023 | 09:41 | Patrick Williams Probable Monday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is considered probable for Monday's visit to Milwaukee. He's carrying a sore left ankle but is expected to play as the Bulls look to continue their surge with a fifth consecutive win. Williams recently broke back into the starting unit and has performed well in a larger role. He's logged 13.8 points with 5.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks across the past eight games, starting seven of them. In two prior meetings with the Bucks this season, Williams has put up 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks. |

Wed Nov 22 2023 | 20:03 | Patrick Williams Moves Into Starting Five |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bulls have elected to start Williams with Zach LaVine (foot) on the sideline. That being said, Williams should have increased fantasy value with the move to the starting unit. However, he hasn't been a reliable contributor lately, so fantasy managers can probably find a better streaming option on this busy Wednesday night. |

Mon Nov 13 2023 | 15:57 | Alex Caruso Doubtful, Patrick Williams Probable Monday |
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is doubtful and forward Patrick Williams (finger) is probable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. A left toe strain cost Caruso Sunday's 119-108 win over the Detroit Pistons, and it also looks likely to hold him out on the second leg of Chicago's back-to-back set. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu should split minutes to some degree at the one for the Bulls in Caruso's expected absence, with White being the preferred fantasy option for Monday's Central Division battle. Williams' left finger sprain gave him a probable tag before suiting up against Detroit, ultimately going scoreless in 19 minutes. Torrey Craig grabbed 10 rebounds in a 30-minute start for head coach Billy Donovan on Sunday, but there isn't much fantasy value to be seen out of the supporting cast on the wings at the moment in the Windy City. |

Sat Nov 4 2023 | 20:44 | Patrick Williams, Alex Caruso To Play Saturday |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (finger) and guard Alex Caruso (shoulder) are both available for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Both players are dealing with lingering injuries, but have been cleared to suit up on Saturday. They should resume their normal roles off the bench with Zach LaVine (back) and DeMar DeRozan (rest) both active for this game as well. That being said, Williams and Caruso have limited upside playing with the second unit, so fantasy managers can probably find better streaming options. |

Thu Jan 5 2023 | 12:37 | Patrick Williams Has Strong Outing In Win Over Nets |
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams had one of his best games of the season in the team's 121-112 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. The third-year power forward registered 22 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals on 6-for-8 shooting and 3-for-4 from three. He also led the team in free throws and made all seven of them. After a slow start to the season, Williams has shown some big flashes of potential, but he isn't the most trustworthy fantasy asset just yet. |
