Hogs Haven on Antonio Williams
From the article
But the player Coach Dan Quinn highlighted to receive more targets was rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams. "I would say the natural progression is probably Antonio some more," Quinn said. "Not necessarily the same spot [on the field], but a higher volume." Williams has caught 18 passes for 205 yards and one touchdown. He's averaged just 4.3 targets per game (fourth on the team).
STACKED’s take
Williams set for target volume increase with McLaurin out; slot specialist averaging 4.3 targets per game.
Rookie WR expected to receive increased volume following Terry McLaurin's absence. Coach Dan Quinn stated Williams will see "a higher volume" of targets, though not necessarily in the same spots on the field. Williams has caught 18 passes for 205 yards and one touchdown while averaging 4.3 targets per game (fourth on team). He operates primarily from the slot (46.3% of snaps vs. McLaurin's 20.2%), running short-to-intermediate routes: hitches (21.3%), out routes (16.2%), and crossers (15.4%). Has recorded at least three targets in all six games, with his high coming in week four against Indianapolis when he drew eight targets for 21 yards on three catches.
