Despite suffering a torn ACL in the National Championship game in January, the Lions traded up to select dynamic receiver Jameson Williams in the 1st round. Elite measurables combined with incredible production in his Junior year, Williams will greatly upgrade the talent level at the position when he takes the field. That's part of the problem. With his rehab ongoing, it's highly unlikely we'll see Williams on the field much in the first half of the year. He's a big part of the future in Detroit, and they won't rush him back. So why even consider him in fantasy? Depending on your league rules, he might be a free stash until there is a clearer indication on his return. His talent is worth sitting on, or at least snatching off the wire a few weeks into the season.

 Jameson Williams unlikely to play before December
Suffered torn ACL in January

|  | Don't hold your breath on the return of Jameson Williams. While the Lions remain hopeful the 12th overall pick will play this season, HC Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Williams is at least another month away from his debut.
"I think we’re looking at December. If I’m trying to forecast here a little bit, I’m hoping sometime in December we get him," Campbell said on the Stoney & Jansen Show. "When he can go, I think it would be good for him to go. He needs some in-game experience, even if it’s only for a couple of games, two or three games. I think those are critical to get under his belt before next year if you can do it." (97.1 FM - Will Burchfield)
FFToday's Take: Williams possesses a ton of upside, but managers also have to be realistic about the possibility he might not be ready to contribute in a meaningful fashion until next season. Redraft managers can probably feel free to move on from him if their IR slot(s) is/are full but are encouraged to continue holding if they have the room to do so. Amon-Ra St. Brown figures to remain a target hog in the meantime.
