Add. Patrick Williams is averaging 31.4 minutes over his last 5 games against a 20.5 season average.
This isn't just a hot stretch of playing time. He has started 5 straight games after a prior start rate of just 10%, a clear role change dated from 2026-04-05 to 2026-04-12. His minutes over the last 10 games sit at 25.3, still well above his season number.
The production has followed. He is at 19.6 FPG over his last 10 games against 14.9 for the season, up 4.7 FPG.
He is 50% rostered and ranked 314th in FPG under the zach_league scoring format, so he is likely available in half of leagues and worth a look given the role change.
The risk here is the sample: five games is a small window, and if Chicago's rotation reshuffles or a returning piece cuts into his minutes, this role could shrink back down.
