Mike Williams is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Williams had his best game as a member of the New York Jets last Thursday when he secured three of four targets for 34 yards. He finished third on the team in receiving, with Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard outperforming him, but it was still an encouraging sign to see him more involved in the offense.
Williams is working his way back from a torn ACL he suffered last season, and the Jets have been slow to integrate him into the game plan and increase his playing time as a result.
This is why the Jets went out and got Mike Williams. The way he adjusted his body the ball was a thing of beauty. #JetUp pic.twitter.com/rxQ3Hlr2nM

Williams played 65% of the snaps in Week 2, however, he saw the field for just 45% of the snaps in Week 3. That probably has more to do with the game script than anything as the Jets built a big lead in the second half and went with a very run-heavy approach to close out the Patriots.
Williams may struggle to create separation with defenders, but his big frame allows him to go up and make contested catches. He had one end zone target from Rodgers last week that he was unable to come down with, but it was a good sign that his quarterback was looking to take advantage of his size in that situation.
He's likely to continue to be more involved in this Jets offense each week going forward, but for now, he's a risky FLEX play until we see his target share increase.
