Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice
Wow. I love this pick as a massive Kyle Williams fan. Coming out of Washington State, he flew a bit under the radar, but Williams ran a 4.40 40-yard dash. He’s explosive, has speed, and is an excellent route runner. He’ll be competing for outside receiving snaps with only Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas standing in his way. If I was picking at the top portion of the second round in dynasty rookie drafts, I’d take him. I’m a huge believer in the talent, and it won’t take long for him to start getting meaningful snaps and become a starter.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp
Scouting Report:
- Williams has easy speed (4.4 40-yard dash) with the ability to run away from people after the catch. Williams uncovers quickly with solid hip fluidity.
- Williams has a decent release package with room to grow. He has to improve the efficiency of his movements at the top of his stem. His footwork can be choppy at times as he attempts to gear down at the top of his routes.
- Williams can stretch the field and has solid deep ball tracking. He’s a versatile piece for an NFL offense that could eat up zone coverage underneath and also take the top off a defense.
- Williams has a dense lower half and offers some tackle-breaking ability and YAC skills. Last year, Williams had the eighth-best YAC per reception and ranked 14th in missed tackles.
- These aren’t massive concerns, but Williams has had some issues with drops and isn’t a consistent ball-winner at the catch point.
- His play strength limitations show up in these areas. Williams has a 7.8% collegiate drop rate and has had a 50% or below contested catch rate in three of his five seasons.
