All Mattek Fantasy Football insights about Antonio Williams
PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026
Ranked WR28 as the obvious beneficiary of Terry McLaurin's season-ending injury. McLaurin was playing ~20% of snaps in the slot; Dan Quinn and the offensive coordinator indicated they won't overload 33-year-old Stefon Diggs (coming off multiple recent injuries), positioning Williams (third-round pick from Clemson) to absorb slot snaps. Game is a must-win for Washington, suggesting full offensive game plan deployment. Mattek expects both Diggs and Antonio Williams to have big games without McLaurin in the lineup.PositiveRoleOct 28, 2026
McCarthy ranks Williams at WR39 and notes he's the highest on the site. Dan Quinn stated the wide receiver room expects Stefon Diggs' workload to stay the same with no Terry McLaurin, and specifically called out Antonio Williams by name as the biggest beneficiary and guy they are counting on with no Terry McLaurin. McCarthy likes Williams in fantasy football, though notes the projection is contingent on Jaden Daniels staying healthy.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026
With Terry McLaurin out for the year, Antonio Williams is the Commanders wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. would most like to add. Williams has posted 18 receptions for 205 yards and one touchdown thus far and led all Commanders receivers in snap share without McLaurin. Cooper projects Williams as the highest-ranked Commanders wide receiver going forward, noting snap and route shares aligned with expectations after the 49ers game. Cooper recommends him as an A-tier waiver wire target for Week 7.NegativeValueOct 17, 2026
Recommended as alternative contingency backup option for Mike Evans owners alongside Christian Kirk. Allows flexibility to avoid a zero in lineup if Evans doesn't play; low-cost acquisition strategy.NegativeRoleOct 15, 2026
Williams is included in the source's top 100 flex rankings for Week 6, with his role contingent on Stefon Diggs' absence.PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026
Ran routes on 28 of 37 dropbacks but was only targeted 3 times; Chris Rodriguez Jr. calls this 'really disappointing stuff' and attributes some of the target scarcity to long Jaden Daniels touchdowns that reduced down-and-distance opportunities.PositiveBreakoutOct 8, 2026
The source has Williams ranked 39th overall WR and notes he's clearly trending up. Williams was targeted 8 times in a game where Terry McLaurin did not play and had a 75-yard TD called back last week. With 30 routes last week and Jaylen Daniels returning at QB, Williams is positioned well going forward; the source started him last week and expects McLaurin to miss this week as well.PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Cardinals WR had an 80-yard touchdown called back by penalty and posted a 73% route share with 24% target share. Mattek Fantasy Football called him out as a sneaky start last week and remains high on him, believing he is better than Van Jefferson, Deami Brown, and probably better than Trayon Burks at this stage of his career.PositiveBreakoutSep 15, 2026
Antonio Williams posted 16.4 PPR points with a touchdown on a 14% target share; despite only running 29% of routes, usage is expected to increase based on historical research that rookie efficiency spikes lead to more playing time. Note: The source prefers Dontayvion Wicks over Williams due to the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive environment.NegativeBustAug 18, 2026
Malik Neighbors questions the ceiling of Antonio Williams, preferring Jeremy Bernard over him in draft scenarios.NegativeRoleMay 27, 2026
Antonio Williams was added as the fourth wide receiver in the draft during the dart-throwing phase as part of a strategy to load the roster with young WRs who might not play and could be cut. This approach was enabled by having established starters in Puka Nacua and Rashee Rice, allowing the source to take speculative young WR darts elsewhere.PositiveRoleNo date
Antonio Williams is a pretty interesting flex start this week with Diggs ruled out. Jaden Daniels is back in the game and should see full routes for Antonio Williams. He had an 82-yard touchdown called back last week by a ticky-tack penalty that would have significantly improved his fantasy outlook.PositiveUsageNo date
With Terry McLaurin out, Antonio Williams is projected to receive a full route share for the first time. He is a strong pre-waiver wire stash and a potential start, having shown efficiency in week one and a positive snap trend.
