STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Williams 15% target rate; 13.8 fantasy points; no longer WR2 candidate.

Jameson Williams is currently being targeted on 15 percent of his routes and has scored a grand total of 13.8 fantasy points through two games. His aDOT of 13.8 isn't particularly high, so it's not like the team is having him run exclusively clear out routes. He simply can't earn targets at a high clip right now. His numbers are almost identical to what they were in 2025 while Sam LaPorta was healthy, when Williams was targeted on 15 percent of his routes at a 14.2 aDOT. The source notes Williams is still seeing more than enough air yards to pop for the occasional spike week, but he's no longer in the WR2 conversation.
