Third-round pick expected to line up wide opposite McLaurin more than in slot.
Antonio WilliamsRBFA
Third-round 2026 draft pick expected to play both slot and outside, but the source believes Williams will align wide more than in the slot opposite McLaurin. Adam Peters' offseason comments about Williams' play outside in 2024 and his abilities as a wideout suggest the Commanders see him as a solution for a receiver opposite McLaurin. The team has Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane available for slot work, and the expected increase in 12 and 13 personnel (tight end sets) should boost Williams' outside snaps, with McLaurin and Williams expected to be the first choice to remain on field in multiple tight end sets. This usage pattern would be consistent with the Lions' use of Amon-Ra St. Brown, a frequent comp for Washington's plans for Williams.
