Except he's caught 160 passes over 6 years?

Ok. I’ll clarify. Jamaal Williams CAN catch passes. But he is in no way a “pass-catching” back. The saints offense utilizes a pass catching back big time. Williams ain’t that.

CMC has 442 over 6 years
Kamara has 349 over 5 years
Ekeler has 389 over 6 years
Najee Harris has 115 over 2 years

These aren’t what you’d call pass catching backs and they still are way above Williams historical numbers:
Fournette has 312 over 6 years
Barkley has 247 over 5 years
Josh jacobs has 160 over 4 years
Zeke has 305 over 7 years

but he can be targeted 2-4 times/game to keep the defense honest.

Ok sure. But that’s not what this offense does. They will have another pass catching RB to fill that hole if Kamara is out. It won’t be solely Williams.
