Favorites in the Stefon Diggs "sweepstakes" as camp approaches: 1. Commanders -- Current WR2 is Treylon Burks, slot is (hopefully) Antonio Williams 2. Chiefs -- Need more weapons for Patrick Mahomes, behind short-area Rashee Rice and vertical Xavier Worthy 3. Rams -- Current WR3 in Super Bowl window is Jordan Whittington/Konata Mumpfield 4. Ravens -- Earth's preeminent collector of former superstar WRs who are some degree of withered

WR sleeper rank 4 who projects into an immediate slot role in Washington's offense. The former Clemson standout broke out at 19 and has consistently flashed strong efficiency (2.27 YPRR in 2025) despite battling injuries and an underwhelming team environment. With Deebo Samuel gone and the Commanders ranking top-3 in vacated targets, there's a clear path to volume behind Terry McLaurin. Williams' slot-heavy usage, versatility on special teams, and strong production profile make him a strong late-round sleeper in PPR formats.

PositiveSleeperJul 8, 2026Dynasty Points
Williams is a third-round rookie wide receiver pick for Washington going as WR63 in single-QB formats and pick 151 in FFPC main event; the source loves the fit despite it being a bit more vibes-based than preferred; he has a clear pathway to production given the thin WR competition (Van Jefferson, Traylon Burks, Deami Brown, Jalen Lane are not impressive) and the fact that outside of Terry McLaurin (who gets 10+ targets per game), someone has to catch passes; new play caller David Blau brings a lot of play-action and under-center work with Jaden Daniels, creating room for underneath and deep work; Williams stands out because he's one of the few rookie WRs not in a double-up landing spot; if he hits 8.5-10 points per game, he could easily become a year-two breakout favorite and see himself jump from 14th-round ADP to the 10th round.

Williams is ranked WR70 (172nd overall) as a rookie slot receiver for Washington who could be the WR2 in a Jaden Daniels-led offense if the team doesn't sign a veteran like Stefan Diggs. JJ Zachariason compares him to Josh Downs and notes he's a true slot who could work in immediately as a high-volume, low ADOT safety blanket. Benjamin Solak predicted him for Offensive Rookie of the Year based on opportunity volume. Zachariason drafted him 14th overall in rookie drafts, believing he has tremendous upside and will boom down the stretch in playoffs.

The Commanders drafted Antonio Williams with the No. 71 overall pick into a barren wide receiver room outside of Terry McLaurin. 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.

Article includes as Commanders WR option; community sees best floor of the group. Potential WR2 in Jayden Daniels offense with legitimate coordinator continuity; Commanders WR room is weak (Dyami Brown, Luke McCaffrey, Treylon Burks, Jaylin Lane). Easy path to real role. Caveat: heavy speculation around Commanders signing Diggs or Aiyuk; if that happens, Williams' outlook dims. Safest floor among the five if Commanders don't add WR.

PositiveSleeperJun 12, 2026Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings
Antonio Williams (WR, WAS) is #165 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 160.4 with a 79.5-point projection. Verdict: Full PPR sleeper as slot on Commanders O without a WR2 and WR3. He was one of the most straight-forward evaluations of the class. Williams is a traditional slot receiver with average athletic traits. He is a trusted zone player with some toughness, even if he's not shifty or explosive despite being 5'11"/187.
