Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams rushed once for 42 yards and a touchdown and caught two of his three targets for 15 yards and another touchdown in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year speedster ripped off an explosive run on a wide receiver end-around to open the scoring in the first quarter, but Detroit ultimately blew a 17-point lead to be eliminated from the playoffs. While Williams has special speed, there's a chance the Lions will look to upgrade the WR2 spot behind Amon-Ra St. Brown this offseason. Williams has seen three or fewer targets in 15 of his 18 career regular season games. He might remain the best ball option in the late rounds of drafts but added target competition could mean the end of his fantasy-relevance.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams hasn't been much of a factor in the team's playoff wins against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams. The 2022 first-round pick caught just four passes on six targets for 54 yards. However, Sam LaPorta (knee), Josh Reynolds (ribs), and Kalif Raymond (knee) are all on this week's injury report, so their statutes could affect Williams' fantasy and DFS outlook. Additionally, the Lions are 7.5-point underdogs on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, meaning the overall passing volume could be up. LaPorta and Reynolds are likely to play, but if Raymond does not suit up, Williams can be utilized as a dart throw DFS option at his $3,700 price tag on DraftKings.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams came back from an ankle injury to face the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card Round last week, but he caught just two passes for 19 yards. The speedster has seen three or fewer targets in ten of his 13 games this year, meaning he's clearly not a trustworthy fantasy or DFS option. However, he is just $3,600 for DraftKings full-slate contests, so DFS gamers paying up for expensive players elsewhere can consider him a boom-or-bust dart throw against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers during the regular season. Just don't be surprised if he's in for another quiet day.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (ankle) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final injury report on Friday for wild-card weekend. The second-year pass-catcher will be active on Sunday night to face the visiting Los Angeles Rams, and he's expected to serve as the No. 3 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds with Kalif Raymond (knee) having been ruled out. There's a chance rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) won't play, either, so Williams could end up being a deep DFS sleeper that ends up paying off if he can make a big play or two down the field. In addition to more opportunities in the passing game for Detroit this weekend, the Rams defense was a top-10 matchup for opposing receivers during the regular season.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (ankle) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. This marks now back-to-back days that Williams has been able to get through practice as a full participant. The 22-year-old sat out in Week 18, but it appears that he'll be ready for this Wild-Card matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. Williams has put together a quiet season, but could be asked to do more if Sam LaPorta (knee) and Kalif Raymond (knee) are unable to suit up. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update.
