With just 25 career receptions, the former 1st rounder hasn't exactly been much of a fantasy asset thus far, but that is poised to change in 2024. Not eligible to play until Week 5 last season because of a gambling suspension, Williams was scarcely deployed from then on. Not only did he join a team on a roll, but there were rumblings that Williams wasn't mentally prepared to contribute more than a handful of specially designed plays. Those plays were typically simple bombs (unlike St. Brown his ADOT was 15.8) or runs. When he did touch the ball, it quickly became obvious why he was the 12th overall selection, as his straight-line speed is absolutely lethal. He popped off the screen with two long touchdowns on just three touches in the NFC title game, and has set the stage for a career year.
After heavy criticism from the coaching staff early in his career, he's had glowing reviews about his work ethic and dedication this off-season. Another year in the offense should open up more opportunities, and with little on the receiver depth chart behind him, Williams should easily surpass the 24 receptions from a year ago. The issue remains that his main role is one of vertical threat, as St. Brown, LaPorta, and Gibbs will soak up all of the short to intermediate routes. Barring a seismic shift in deployment, Williams will likely slot in as a boom/bust WR3 for fantasy purposes.
