Here’s our expert outlook and rankings for Jameson Williams.
Williams may not hit the field until October, making him a tough guy to stash in redraft formats. Furthermore, Williams’ vertical ability cannot be capitalized with Jared Goff under center.
Goff’s average depth of throw has decreased over the last four seasons, with his most recent 2021 mark (6.8) ranking dead last among 38 qualifying quarterbacks. He has also averaged just 13 completions of 20-plus air yards the last two seasons. Williams finished top seven among all college wide receivers in receiving yards on 20-plus air-yard throws in 2021.
However, Williams does also possess top-tier YAC-ability, so he should be able to salvage some production when he returns from injury.
And although Goff’s lack of deep game isn’t ideal, we have seen him fuel top fantasy WR seasons before in Los Angeles and Detroit. Most recently with Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was the fantasy WR3 to close out last season. Williams commanded a 31% dominator rating last season by hanging 1,561 receiving yards, 20 yards per reception, and 15 touchdowns — all achievements that ranked top three among his 2022 NFL Draft class.
Nobody will be shocked to see Williams outproduce the combination of St. Brown and T.J. Hockenson once he is fully acclimated into the offense.
