2024 Season Outlooks

Williams is worth drafting as a sleeper this season with a mid-round pick, and he could finally perform at a high level in his third year in the NFL. The first two seasons of his career have been frustrating. He was limited to six games in his rookie campaign following a torn ACL in his final collegiate game at Alabama. And he started his second year dealing with a suspension for gambling. The result has been a combined 95.4 PPR points in two years, but now is his time to shine. With Josh Reynolds gone, Williams is locked into a starting role, and Reynolds leaves behind 64 targets. Hopefully, Williams gets most of those chances from Jared Goff, and Williams could emerge as a top-30 Fantasy receiver this year. We recommend drafting Williams around pick 100 overall, and he will hopefully turn into a weekly starter in three-receiver leagues.

Williams returns as the WR2 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown in a critical third year with the Lions. "Jamo" has played only 18 of a possible 34 games in his young career with the Lions, with only 50 targets in that span. The former 12th overall pick is a dangerous playmaker who finished fourth in fantasy points per reception last season, but he'll need more volume if he's going to be attractive to fantasy managers. Williams carries breakout upside, but also substantial risk if he doesn't see the necessary increase in opportunities. Williams is best viewed as a WR5/6 with big, but risky, upside.
