BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has played at least 50% of the team's snaps in four straight games. Despite never having more than three targets, the 22-year-old has still put up 124 yards on just seven catches and a touchdown.
From Weeks 8-10, Williams saw his snap share and route participation rate increase each week. It seemed as though Williams was finally working his way into being a full-time player. In Week 11, he played on 65% of the snaps and ran a route on 66% of the team's dropbacks. Unfortunately, it seems as though his role has been solidified to some extent. He played 63% of the snaps against the Packers on Thanksgiving and ran a route on 62% of the dropbacks, so it seems as though his increased role has reached its ceiling. This past weekend, his snap share was 57% and his route participation was 63%.
In Weeks 8-12, Williams has registered three targets and two receptions in each contest. This past weekend, he caught his lone target for 11 yards but found the end zone with his one rushing attempt. He scored on the ground from 19 yards out. While he may make a slash play here or there, it's going to be virtually impossible to predict when that is. He's not all that different than Marquez Valdes-Scantling in that regard. The playing time, route participation rate, and target share are very similar. The one thing Williams has is his draft pedigree, which if you have a bench spot available in a deep league, I'm okay betting on. However, he shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a boom-or-bust WR5.
