Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice

I love how the Packers made wide receiver a priority in this draft, securing Savion Williams in the third even after using their first on Matthew Golden. Williams is a 6-foot-4, 222-pound wideout with 4.48 speed. While he’s raw as a route-runner, you have to love the tools here, especially with his ability to break tackles and generate yards after the catch. There’s a reasonable chance that it will take some time for Williams to make an impact in this crowded Packers’ wide receiver room. This feels like a swing for upside for the Packers, where they’re willing to take some risk. I’d target Williams in the late third round in dynasty leagues, but you can leave him until the final rounds in deeper redraft formats. With that said, I’m a fan of this pick because the Packers clearly needed to add talent at receiver, even in a crowded group.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp

Scouting Report:

Savion Williams is a physical specimen. Provides easy, immediate speed from the snap. He isn’t the most twitchy player, but he has a quick first step off the line and smooth footwork when asked to gear down and drop his hips or at the top of his route stem. He has good bend on in-breaking routes.
Williams was a manufactured touch king at TCU, with screens, handoffs and wildcat quarterback snaps. The TCU coaching staff focused on getting Williams involved in various ways every game.
Williams has more than a few concentration drops on film, with at least an 11% drop rate in three of his final collegiate seasons. Overall, I’m not worried about his hands, as many of these are of the concentration variety. A better measuring stick for his mitts is his 75% contested catch rate in college.
He has no issues keeping his focus with 50/50 balls in the air or passes outside of his frame. The ball placement from his quarterbacks at TCU didn’t do him any favors. He was forced to adjust to plenty of inaccurate targets. Williams is a nice red zone threat with the size to box out smaller corners.
Williams should be eased into a full-time traditional wide receiver role in the NFL. He has the traits to become a needle-moving wide receiver. In the limited snaps where he faced physical coverage at the line, he exhibited good hand fighting and the play strength to fight through it in his routes and earn separation, but it was a small sample.
