Williams was the other popular pickup on the waiver wire this week, but he could be in for a disappointing game in Week 6. The Chiefs take on the Washington Football Team who are one of the worst defenses against the pass through the first five games of the season, as they have given up the sixth-most passing yards. Washington is in the middle of the pack in terms of run defense, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce get back on track and see a ton of volume. After their loss to the Chargers, Mahomes came out firing against the Eagles and threw five touchdown passes as he dominated the Philadelphia pass defense.
Expect to see much of the same in this game as Mahomes dominates through the air and attacks a weak secondary, leaving limited volume for Williams. The 26-year-old should see most of the touches out of the backfield, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Jerick McKinnon take on an increased role in the passing game. Williams will be the goal-line back, but considering how frequently the Chiefs look for Hill and Kelce close to the end zone, there is reason to not feel confident that Williams scores a touchdown in this one. He is a solid FLEX option this week, but fantasy managers shouldn't get carried away in terms of their expectations for him with Clyde Edwards-Helaire sidelined.
