There is a path for Williams to emerge as the primary slot target for Jayden Daniels this season, even if the team signs someone like Keenan Allen or Stefon Diggs. McLaurin is the only wide receiver on the Commanders' roster who saw a target share above 12% last season. The source views Williams as an upside WR3 in fantasy drafts.
