BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~93 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~119
ANALYSIS: Is this the year we finally see Jameson Williams break out and establish himself as a reliable third option for Goff in this offense?
Williams is just 23 years old and a former first-round pick who has only scratched the surface of his talent so far in his NFL career. Let's not forget that he only played in six games during his rookie year due to injury and then missed the first four games of last season due to a gambling suspension.
Williams has the speed and big play ability to take the top off defenses - and Detroit needs him to be able to stretch the field as LaPorta (ADOT of 7.1) and St. Brown (ADOT of 7.9) mainly operate underneath from their tight end and slot positions.
Williams had the highest ADOT on the team last season at 15.6 and a 15.6% share of the team's air yards despite only being targeted 41 times in 12 games. With Josh Reynolds out of the picture (40-608-5) last season, Williams has just Kalif Raymond and Donovan Peoples-Jones as competition for the remaining targets. The talent gap between Williams and those two is significant.

Williams also had three carries in the running game for 29 yards and a touchdown. I think Detroit will continue to scheme the ball for him on some reverses to utilize his blazing speed and keep him involved.
At this price, I'm willing to take a shot on an ultra-talented player on a very good offense who should see more opportunities this season.
