News: 2 days agoWilliams brought in four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Spin: Williams ended up leading the Lions in receiving yards on the day while checking in second to Amon-Ra St. Brown in receptions and targets. The fourth-year speedster also delivered the biggest catch of the day, recording a seven-yard touchdown grab with 4:35 remaining that proved to be the game-winning score. Williams has recorded all five of his touchdown receptions on the season within the last three games, and he has at least Sunday's yardage tally in three of the last four heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The slow start to Williams' career is a thing of the past after the speedster delivered 1,000-plus-yard campaigns each of the past two seasons. After breaking out with a 22nd-place fantasy finish (25th PPG) in 2024, Williams set new career highs in targets, catches, yards and touchdowns en route to a 12th-place finish (19th PPG) last season. A lack of goal-line work (eight career end zone targets) and some drop woes (NFL-high eight in 2025) are drawbacks, but Williams' explosive-play ability has led him to finish sixth or better in yards per reception and yards per target each of the past two seasons. The 25-year-old remains one of Jared Goff's top targets in Detroit's high-scoring offense and is a fine fantasy WR3 target.
