A big play specialist who is a nearly ideal complement for Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams heads from Los Angeles to a division rival in Oakland. Williams has quietly been producing elite per-catch numbers throughout his career and now he'll get the opportunity to potentially see even more playing time as the team's presumed No.2 option out wide, while playing alongside one of the best wide receivers of all-time.
Williams himself isn't likely to produce great fantasy numbers, at least with any sort of consistency, here in 2019. The Raiders aren't likely to be a pass-happy offense and when they do pass it'll likely be heavily focused on getting the ball to Brown. Still, Williams should see an uptick in targets this season as alongside Brown, he's the only other proven pass catching weapon in this entire offense -- well, aside from running back Jalen Richard.
If Williams can push for nearly 100 targets on the season, he does have the upside to be a low-end WR2 at the end of the season. The frustrating thing is that he might accumulate half of those stats in two or three games, and that production has been very difficult to predict throughout his career.

FFToday's Take: Both players performed well in Week 2 for their fantasy owners, but life is about to get more difficult for both on the road against the Vikings in Week 3, especially if they aren't 100 percent. Williams, in particular, could struggle in the shadow coverage of Xavier Rhodes. Jacobs could cede a few touches to Jalen Richard and/or DeAndre Washington if he isn't ready to handle a full load. Both Jacobs and Williams should be considered back-end fantasy starters this week.
