On an offense that already features the likes of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, and others, it’s worth noting that Williams has been pegged as the standout of that stalwart group early in training camp. Of course, there have been rumblings about a potential bounce back for the former first-round pick since the earliest days of the offseason, but now that rubber is meeting the road, it’s encouraging to hear that Williams is backing up the talk on the field heading into his third NFL season. He’ll have his target-earning work cut out for him with just 51 career targets to his name in 18 games played, but on an offense as dynamic as Detroit’s, he should have no trouble posting a boom game here and there as long as he stays healthy. Williams’ dynasty managers have been patiently waiting for him establish himself since he was selected 12th overall in 2022, and this is officially the closest they’ve come to seeing those dreams realized. The current WR48 on both Underdog and Sleeper, Williams offers enticing weekly upside at a relatively affordable price. However, whether or not he’s able to avoid being a volatile, headache-inducing player remains to be seen, especially given the amount of elite competition around him for touches.
