According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, rookie WR Jameson Williams will miss at minimum Week 1. The Detroit Lions will not put a public timetable on his return, but some expectations are set around mid-November. (Jeremy Fowler, ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

The Lions traded up to snag their draft target, but Williams is recovering from a late-season ACL tear. He will be paired alongside pass-catchers WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and TE T.J. Hockenson. His value in re-draft leagues is shaky with such a late return being likely, but in dynasty, he is a strong investment with high draft capital, talent and an ascending offense around him.
