At least WR3 on Lions; Cobb/Reed comps suggest high target potential.

Antonio WilliamsRBFA

Antonio Williams is a very good fantasy asset, not overrated. He projects as at least the wide receiver three on the Lions and will likely be the second or third most productive receiver on the team. Comps include Randall Cobb and Jayden Reed—a long-time scout noted Cobb as the player he was reminded of when watching Williams. If the Lions run a Detroit-style offense (similar to their recent scheme), Williams could play an enhanced Jayden Reed or Amon-Ra St. Brown type of role, potentially making him a high target-count player. He has a shot to start off like Terry McLaurin in his new offense.
