Mike Williams
WR - New York Jets
Availability
Jets WR Mike Williams will be active for the team’s Week 7 matchup with the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Williams status with the Jets remains in question after reports earlier in the week surfaced that the team was looking to trade him. He will likely operate as the fourth wide receiver on the roster Sunday and could still be on the move before the trade deadline.
Jets WR Mike Williams will play against the Steelers, per head coach Jeff Ulbrich.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was a full participant in practice Friday after missing two days for personal reasons. With Aaron Rodgers openly upset about Williams’ performance in the loss to Buffalo, how much the veteran wide receiver will be targeted is a major question mark.
The Chargers, Steelers and Saints have reportedly inquired about a trade for Jets WR Mike Williams.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was back at the Jets facility on Thursday. The Steelers and Saints were both teams who had shown interest in Davante Adams as well. Williams is likely to remain in his deep threat role wherever he ends up.
Mike Williams (personal) did not take part in practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Williams was absent from Wednesday's practice due to a personal issue of some kind. This is interesting timing, as it was recently reported that the team is open to trading him after they acquired Davante Adams from the Raiders. It's worth watching how this situation unfolds over the next few days because he could theoretically find some real fantasy value on another team, but he is unlikely to produce much for the Jets at this point.
Mike Williams caught 2-of-4 targets for 25 yards in the Jets' 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Williams turned in a quiet day compared to fellow wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard. The veteran is clearly the third option in the passing attack and is likely a flex option at best heading into a Week 6 matchup with Buffalo.
