Williams played 77.2 percent of his college snaps from the slot during his time with Clemson, and produced three seasons of 600-plus yards, topping out at 75-904-11 in 2024. He's expected to step into an immediate role for the Commanders this season, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for both McCaffrey and Williams out of the gate, as neither should be on draft boards to start the year.

Williams slots in as rookie WR3; temper expectations despite immediate role opportunity.

Williams, a rookie third-rounder from Clemson, is expected to step into an immediate slot role for the Commanders. He played 77.2% of his college snaps from the slot and produced three seasons of 600-plus yards, topping out at 75-904-11 in 2024. The source notes he is known for his production after the catch and brings four solid years of college production to the pro level. However, the source cautions that fantasy managers should temper expectations for Williams out of the gate, as he should not be on draft boards to start the year.
