With Terry McLaurin sidelined for the season due to a knee injury, Williams has real opportunity as a rookie savvy route runner who can find open space in the middle of the field. He is currently scoring 7.4 fantasy PPG, but the source expects his numbers to rise with increased usage as a middle-of-the-field option and outlet for Jayden Daniels.PositiveMatchupOct 28, 2026
Williams is an intriguing value play in Week 8 against Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football during Terry McLaurin's absence. The Eagles have struggled more against perimeter receivers and surrendered 16.4 points to the rookie in Week 1. Williams is one of the most likely benefactors in terms of increased targets with McLaurin sidelined for the season, and the Eagles have seen a league-high 10 different wide receivers score 14-plus fantasy points against them.PositiveProjectionSep 14, 2026

Williams is a shifty, quick receiver with very reliable hands and the ability to win after the catch. Much of his usage in college came behind the line of scrimmage or on short passes, but he did show he can win in the intermediate game. The source would not expect a lot of downfield usage. The Commanders signing Stefon Diggs put a bit of a wet blanket on Williams, but he is a name to know and could blossom into a waiver wire target down the road.PositiveSleeperNo date
