BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~127 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~150
ANALYSIS: The oft-injured receiver is getting a fresh start this season with a new team. Still only 29 years old, Williams has a chance to be the WR2 for the New York Jets this season and Aaron Rodgers needs another big target besides Garrett Wilson in this passing game.
Williams has been a productive player throughout his career, especially as a deep ball specialist and in the red zone where he can use his 6-foot-4 frame to shield off defenders on fade routes. However, he has been incredibly injury-prone the last two seasons, playing in only 16 of 34 games for the Chargers.
Mike Williams is going to open up the offense so much. You can’t just stack the box against Breece. You can’t put all your attention on Garrett

As long as Williams can stay healthy this season, he stands a great chance to be fantasy-relevant as a WR3 or Flex play weekly. Coming off an ACL tear can be tough, but Williams's size and excellent hands can help him win matchups in the secondary without blazing speed or dynamic route-running ability.
If the Jets offense takes a big leap with Rodgers under center this season, then the opportunities for Williams to be a significant contributor should be there. He has the type of upside we are hunting for in the late rounds of drafts.
