We've officially arrived at the murkiest position group in the NFL, the Lion wide receivers. Let's start with Tyrell Williams who arrived on a 1-year deal this offseason after a short stint with the Raiders. Williams missed all of the 2020 season with a torn labrum, and now finds himself as the defacto No.1 receiver on a bad team with a limited quarterback. Williams has been nothing more than a complimentary deep threat during his time in the NFL, and seems a bit miscast in this offense. On the positive side, he should see a boatload of targets for a team likely to be trailing quite a bit, and if he remains fully healthy, should have no problem surpassing his career high of 119 targets. Can a heavy volume and the familiarity with his old coach Anthony Lynn be enough to make Williams one of the best receiver values in fantasy? I actually think it can. He's big, fast, and should be healthy enough to reach some surprising production. Missing the 2020 season, and being stuck in Detroit means you'll likely be able to steal a serviceable WR3 really late in your draft. With little investment, and a potential big role in the passing game, don't sleep on the upside of Williams.
