News: 1 day agoWilliams secured both targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 24-21 win over the Giants on Thursday.

Spin: Williams was a distant second to Stefon Diggs in receiving yards for the Commanders on the night, but like the latter, the former was on the receiving end of one of Jayden Daniels' three touchdown passes. Williams scored from 31 yards out just past the midway point of the third quarter, his first touchdown since way back in Week 1 against the Eagles. Williams hasn't been able to fully take advantage of the absence of Terry McLaurin (knee, IR) as of yet, but Thursday's score is certainly an encouraging sign heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Bengals on Monday night, Nov. 23.

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.
