News: 3 hours agoWilliams caught five of nine targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-17 win over Green Bay.

Spin: One game after scoring his first two TDs of the season, Williams struck twice again, hauling in a 16-yard toss from Jared Goff in the first quarter and a 10-yard score in the third. After a slow start to the campaign, Williams has broken out for a 13-240-4 line on 19 targets over the last three contests, and the Lions' Week 6 bye did nothing to cool him off. The fifth-year wideout will carry plenty of momentum into a tough Week 8 matchup against the unbeaten Vikings.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The slow start to Williams' career is a thing of the past after the speedster delivered 1,000-plus-yard campaigns each of the past two seasons. After breaking out with a 22nd-place fantasy finish (25th PPG) in 2024, Williams set new career highs in targets, catches, yards and touchdowns en route to a 12th-place finish (19th PPG) last season. A lack of goal-line work (eight career end zone targets) and some drop woes (NFL-high eight in 2025) are drawbacks, but Williams' explosive-play ability has led him to finish sixth or better in yards per reception and yards per target each of the past two seasons. The 25-year-old remains one of Jared Goff's top targets in Detroit's high-scoring offense and is a fine fantasy WR3 target.
