News: 3 days agoWilliams caught three of eight targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.

Spin: With Terry McLaurin (hamstring) inactive, Williams finished second to Stefon Diggs in targets, but the rookie wideout wasn't able to do much with the volume as Athan Kaliakmanis ended up having to make his NFL debut in relief of Marcus Mariota (knee) at quarterback. Williams has produced a 12-124-1 line on 19 targets through his first four games, and he'll be a volatile option in Week 5 against the Giants depending on whether Jayden Daniels (elbow) and McLaurin are able to return.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Williams was selected by the Commanders in the third round of April's draft. He is an undersized slot receiver (75% slot in his collegiate career) who soaked up 208 catches (fourth most in this rookie class) during his four seasons (43 games) at Clemson. He was primarily a short-range option (8.0 aDOT), but he caught a healthy 75% of his targets and added value as a rusher (career 25-187-2 rushing), punt returner and even as a passer (143 yards and two TDs on four attempts). Williams is in an all-out battle with the likes of Dyami Brown, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane and Treylon Burks for the No. 3 WR gig behind Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. He's worth no more than a late pick in deep leagues.
