News: 2 days agoPackers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Williams is recovering from a high-ankle sprain and should be ready to return from injured reserve when first eligible Week 5, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Spin: Williams wasn't known to have sustained an injury during training camp or the preseason before he landed on injured reserve Sunday, but Gutekunst's comments provided some clarity on the matter. Assuming that the second-year wideout bounces back from the high-ankle sprain as anticipated, he should be ready to make his 2026 debut Oct. 11 versus the Bears. With Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden locked in as Green Bay's top three receivers, Williams is unlikely to run many routes when all of those players are fully healthy, but he could have a small role on offense as a gadget player in addition to serving as the team's top kickoff returner.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Williams is primed for a larger role in his second NFL season. The 2025 third-round pick had a unique rookie campaign, handling more carries (11) than he did targets (10). Williams' gadget role allowed him only 90 snaps (12%) and he was utilized only near the line of scrimmage (1.4 aDOT). The Green Bay WR rotation no longer includes Romeo Doubs or Dontayvion Wicks, but Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and fellow second-year wideout Matthew Golden remain in the mix. Williams will need to beat out one (or perhaps two) of them and start to see more downfield targets in order to land on the fantasy radar. The 24-year-old is only worth late-round consideration in deeper formats, especially since he'll open the season on IR.
