All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Antonio Williams
PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026
Part of Commanders' big three alongside Stefon Diggs and Chica Conquo; speaker ranks him inside top 36 and prefers to play him. Williams is projected over 3.5 receptions with Trayon Burks questionable and Terry McLaurin out; Philadelphia's defense has been poor against slot receivers all season. Williams previously posted 4 catches for 61-64 yards and 1 TD on just 26 snaps against this same defense in Week 1, establishing a strong historical baseline for this matchup.PositiveProjectionOct 28, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Antonio Williams as WR34 and highlights a volume spike with Terry McLaurin out. Williams needed only 26 snaps to catch four passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Philadelphia, which has allowed the most defensive fantasy points to slot receivers. With Jaden Daniels' run game non-existent and Jakori Crosky on IR, Hartitz expects heavy pass volume and a favorable matchup for the rookie. Hartitz is excited to see what Antonio Williams can do, suggesting emerging opportunity and upside.PositiveMatchupOct 7, 2026
Strong Week 5 matchup play for the Giants against the Jets, a pass funnel defense (21st or worse in EPA per drop back but close to league average or better against the run) that teams are inclined to attack through the air.PositiveBreakoutOct 5, 2026
Rookie Antonio Williams saw a significant boost in usage with a 73% route share, operating in a role similar to Terry McLaurin's with an 11.4 aDOT, despite his typical slot-heavy profile.PositiveBreakoutSep 23, 2026
Ian Hartitz highlights Antonio Williams as a high-efficiency rookie, ranking in the top 10 in both yards per route run and fantasy points per route run. While his fantasy outlook is currently capped by a snap-share split with Dyami Brown, his underlying efficiency metrics are elite and he has produced top-36 numbers despite no preseason ADP.NegativeValueAug 3, 2026
Antonio Williams' fantasy outlook is inversely tied to the potential signing of Stefon Diggs by Washington; if Diggs does not sign, Williams' value improves.PositiveProjectionNo date
Commanders WR had an 87-yard touchdown nullified by illegal shift and holding penalty, but Hartitz emphasizes the underlying efficiency metrics matter more: on a per-route basis, Williams has been getting targeted heavily, and his fantasy points separation score ranks him among the league's best performers. Despite the penalty-negated score, Hartitz sees this as evidence of a strong rookie season with better days ahead.PositiveRoleNo date
Antonio Williams gains appeal as a WR5-range option for the Commanders in week 2 due to Conquo's hamstring injury. While Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin will receive the heavy majority of targets, a potential shootout against a weak Cowboys defense creates opportunity for Williams.NegativeRoleNo date
Commanders added RB Antonio Williams in round three of the draft, but Ian Hartitz remains skeptical about the running back room overall, calling it objectively the worst in the NFL. Williams joins Rashad White (filling the Austin Ekeler role) in a backfield that Hartitz views as a significant weakness for Washington's offense.
